Look at you!
[C#] You took a look in the [E] mirror, [B] now tell me what you see.
[A] Another [E] satisfied customer, and a [B] chum delighter in the American dream.
I remember [A] when we was [F#m] both out on [Em] the boulevard [Bm] talking revolution, that same [B] verse.
[A] Now there's his [B] letters to the [E] editor, and [F#] we're cheating on [Bm] our taxes with [B] the best of what we can do.
Look [E] [B]

[A] You hear the doctors now [E] on Wall Street, shopping [Bm] in the scaffolds and trying to cut [B] a deal.
[B] [A] Meanwhile, [Am] back at the [E] hospital, got a count in the [B] school and got [D] a countin' [B] out of pills.
Yeah, [A] I know that sucks.
[E] That your ancient [Bm] maw ain't doing what you thought [B] it would do.

For it's good, 150 years ago, [E] our forefathers made a sequel [B] as long as we can pay.
Yeah, maybe that wasn't exactly what they was thinking, [E] version 6 [B].0 of the American way.
But hey, we can just build a great [E] wall around the country club and keep the riffraff [B] out until the slump is through.
Yeah, I realize I ain't exactly [E] democratic, but it's either him or [B] us in this, and that's [A] who we can be.

We're passionate [E] and so are [B] you.
