[A] [Am]
[C] [Am] [C] [G] [Am]
[A] This [Am] country ain't nothing but a [A] company's dream
A couple hundred million workers, it's all that they see
[Am] Our hands and the tools, money writing the rules
From the sweatshop [G] prisons to the [A] cops in the schools
Got the middle class living like it's gonna last
Working [Am] longer, harder hours for less and less cash
Got the media's fins, Republicrat twins
Got the war [G] profiteer, corporate [A] executive grins
Got [Am] the heroin running through the veins of the poor
Got the ghettos [C] locked down, [A] paying blood for the war
[Am] Got the cities decayed, the dealers to pay
[C] And the death squads working [A] for the CIA
You [Am] got a million new jobs, a thousand new jails
Outsourcing the unions, profit dipping the scales
Got a brainwashed youth, a trumped up truth
Got snipers armed with rifles on [A] the factory roof
You got a 30 minute speech full of oohs and ahs
Got the cops armed tough, breaking the laws
[Am] Got the front row seat to your own defeat
You got the tear gas [Em] canisters [Am] filling the street
You got the laws all written for the rich and the white
Trick the rest of them fools into the army to fight
In a dead end game, each war the same
You got a land [D] and a people and a market [Am] to claim
Got a woman [A] beaten down everywhere that you look
In the schools, in the jails, in the courts, in the books
[Am] Got the TV set, sexism's outlined
Got a culture full of [D] men taught to fall for that [Am] shit
Yeah, and I do [A] too, I'm not blaming you
[Am] But I'm trying to unlearn what they said was true
Yeah, and I need help, I'm not afraid to say it
It's a subliminal tool, sometimes it's hard to see it
[A] You got the job in the office, you got your own room
You got the pen and the paper [Am] and the drive to consume
Got the suit pressed in, got the myth that you'll win
And the rage to replace [D] true [Am] ambition
You're gonna move up the [A] ladder at the company's speed
Gotta [Am] learn to dance quick to the company's greed
Gotta justify every step that you can
With your eyes closed tight and your head in the sand
You gotta fight the desire to fight the police
You gotta fight your heart and your every belief
You gotta trust the leader, whatever he says
With the [D] flag held high, yeah, you're [Am] already dead
You already gave up if you [A] took their advice
If you [Am] played their game, you paid their price
And you're gone, gone, gone
Yeah, there's no coming back
Till [C] you realize your [G] potential is your destiny
[A] I see [Am]
if we look to each other and to ourselves
And ignore the phony remedies they stock on the shelves
We can undermine the creed on which the system depends
And hope to [A] build a new world based on lovers and friends
We gotta build from [Am] the bottom what [A] we want at the top
We gotta work together [Am] if we want this to stop
From the fake grassroots to the top of the tree
I aim for peace and [D] justice and [Am] anarchy
I want peace and justice and anarchy
I want peace [G] and justice [Am] and anarchy
