Intro: E, Bsus2


Verse One:
E                                               Bsus2
Where are the ones who carry their guns to the far away lands with the
                          C#m                       Asus2             
blackened suns from the smokened narrow minds. The half-truth trails and the 
 Bsus2            E                                     Bsus2
holy lies of an empty heart and overflowing mouth, a plastic smile and a 
                 C#m                               Asus2          
coward's frown. Reprecussions come around when the word named free burns to 
Bsus2
the ground somehow.


Interlude: E, Bsus2, C#m, Asus2, Bsus2, E, Bsus2


Verse Two:
E                                                   Bsus2         
Where are the deaf and where are the dumb from the side of the tracks where 
                              C#m                     Asus2
no reason comes from and the tables never bare. The water runs and momma's 
 Bsus2                E                                           Bsus2
always there so who separates the world from the start. Where such words 
                                           C#m
would come and such thoughts would cause a shot heard round the world. Or 
 Asus2               Bsus2
just as sad never heard at all. 


Chorus:
    E                    Bsus2                    Asus2             C#m
So down down down like a ball of flames, to the rotten core filling up with 
              A            C#m            Ab/E            Bsus2
names of hypocrites what a massive list, don't exclude yourself from it. 
       E                  Bsus2         Asus2                C#m
Don't compromise administration lies carried out and covered up with time, 
Asus2                    C#m            Ab/E                    Asus2
carried out and turned around to shine. High on a pedestal of broken lives.


Interlude: E, Bsus2, C#m, Asus2, Bsus2, E, Bsus2


Verse Three:
E                                           Bsus2       
Compassion speaks loud for itself falls on broken ears and off the value 
                C#m                     Asus2                  Bsus2
shelf into the dirt left to the wind. Coming up strong ready to begin to 
E                                             Bsus2              
obliterate the word from the start Where such words would come and such 
                        C#m                                     Asus2
thoughts would cause a spark that'll set a blaze and leave the embers red 
            Bsus2
until the end of days.


Chorus:
    E                    Bsus2                    Asus2             C#m
So down down down like a ball of flames, to the rotten core filling up with 
              A            C#m            Ab/E            Bsus2
names of hypocrites what a massive list, don't exclude yourself from it. 
       E                  Bsus2         Asus2                C#m
Don't compromise administration lies carried out and covered up with time, 
Asus2                    C#m            Ab/E                    Asus2
carried out and turned around to shine. High on a pedestal of broken lives.


Interlude: E, B...


Outro:
E                                              Bsus2

                        C#m                         Asus2         
blackened suns from the smokened narrow minds. The half-truth trails and the 
Bsus2          E                                     Bsus2
holy lies of an empty heart and overflowing mouth, a plastic smile and a

coward's frown. Reprecussions come around when the word named free burns to 
               E
the ground somehow.
