A5   E5
Sad days
G5           D5
Kissing the cheeks of the
A5   E5
Families
        G5       D5
Who are walking away
A5  E5
Tragic
    G5            D5           G5         D5       E5
The pubs are all closin, the system is broken, decayed.

Because

A5   E5
Business
   G5           D5
Is down at the depot
  A5   E5
Defenses
        G5           D5
Are the only things built.
A5    E5
Neighbors
         G5          D5           G5          D5         E5
Wave goodbye to eachother, this country is over they say.


[Chorus]
          A5
Yeah this life
     D5
In a modern town.
    G5                             A5
The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out.
     A5                      D5
It's not a good day left to be in a fight.
    G5                         A5
Cuz livin is hard through the struggles of life.
   G5                       D5        G5
If nothing gets done it'll never be right.
                  A5 A5 A5 G5
But don't shut em down
[/Chorus]


A5   E5
Lately
    G5            D5
The twenty-first century's been
A5  E5
Crazy
         G5           D5
It's the sign of the times.
A5   E5
Buildings
     G5         D5                G5           D5             E5
Decomposing in slumber, there's no work for all till they wake.


[Chorus]


[Bridge]
F5        C5
Too many faults no reasons
F5             C5
The rain that falls dry bleedin
F5        C5            E5         
Upon the ashes of our homes, our homes, save our homes
[/Bridge]


[Bass solo]


Manic
The word on the street here is
Panic
There's a riot on hand.
A5  E5
People
      G5           D5               G5        D5            E5
Takin care of the people, there's no other way or we'll break.


[Chorus] Repeat once more

Sad days, kissing the cheeks of the families(But don't shut em down)
A5                                            G5         D5       A5
