     C#           Ab                 Eb                   F
hey, sit down and listen and they'll tell you when you're wrong,

 C#           Ab            Eb                Bb
eradicate but vindicate as "progress" creeps along,

C#           Ab              Eb               F
puritan work ethic maintains its subconscious edge,

   C#            Eb                  F
as old glory maintains your consciousness

          C#           Ab          Eb          F
there's a loser in the house and a puppet on a stool,

      C#             Ab         Eb               Bb
and a crowded way of life and a black reflecting pool,

    C#            Ab       Eb           F
and as the people bend the moral fabric dies,

     C#               Eb                 F#
then country can't pretend to ignore its people's cries


C#  Eb  F

you are the government,

F  Eb  F     Ab  Eb  Ab  Eb
you are jurisprudence,

F  Eb  F    Ab  Eb  Ab  Eb
you are the volition,

F  Eb  F     Ab  Eb  Ab  Eb
you are jurisdiction 

    F C#     Ab   Eb    F
