E             E                Am               D              :E     
 When a man is running from his boss who holds a gun that fires "cost" 
           E             Am           D                   :E      
And people die from being old or left alone because they're cold 
              E                  
And bombs are dropped on fighting  
Am                  D                   E 
cats and children's dreams are run with rats 
          E             Am                 D           E 
If you complain you disappear just like the lesbians and queers 
 

E    E   Am  D E    E  Am  D   E: 

 
{acoustic in} 
 E        E   E        E   E   Am            Am D              E 
   No one can love without the grace of some unseen and distant face 
        E   E      E  E  Am                Am   D                  E 
And you get beaten up by blacks who though they work still got the sack 
         E    E          E   E  Am          Am D              E 
And when your soul tells you to hide your very right to die's denied 
       E   E      E  E  Am                Am D          E 
And in the battle on the streets you fight computers and receipts 
         E E      E      E :Am          Am D         E   
And when a man is trying to change it only causes further pain 

                                                 {acoustic out} 
    E  E         E  E Am       Am    D       D  
You realize that all along something in us going wrong
