[F#m] [Am] [B] [D]
[F#m] [A] [Em] [Bm]
[F#] [A] [E] [D]
[C#] [Am] [E] [D] it.
[F#] Be in the last in [E] it.
The world keeps spinning, my people steady losing [D] while the rich keep winning.
[F#] It's like we never smiling [E] and the devil steady winning, killing what we've already set in deed.
I tell them it's one [F#m] thing to be poor, living [Am] above and under the law.
[E] Young tits on a marine, [D] said to die for the core.
[F#] And dunk it up into the [A] government's war.
As if a land [E] of money or oil.
Funny [D] how ain't none of it's yours.
[F#] Can't sleep, no [A] paranoia.
It's cold on, [E] it's far from right.
I guess [D] it's why I feel so wrong to [F#] see the world getting stuck.
[A] Out of every piece of the [E] street, the trade of gold is rolling [D] out.
Static, long and [G#] slow.
You know I'm drunk.
[Am] I'm drunk, I'm drunk, [Em] I'm drunk.
[D] What you say now?
I'm drunk, I'm drunk, [Am] [E] [D]
[F#m] I'm drunk.

I'm drunk, I'm drunk, I'm drunk.
[Bm] What you say now?
What you [F#] say now?
I'm drunk, [Am] I'm drunk, I'm drunk.
Some [E] people chasing a dream.
[D] Others are chasing a high.
Some [F#m] people blind leading the [E] blind.
They chasing a lie.
Some people choking, bags broken, [D] barely making it back.
But [F#] still they working all they life.
[E] They pushing for the life.
Giving everything they got.
It's [D] just those wishes on your neck.
Putting pockets [E] on our jeans.
Mining diamonds for the rain.
The order we small change.
The bullets in the grain.
[B] Every day we feel [Am] strange.
Everything we [E] take for granted in time.
We feel stranded on this planet of mine.
[F#m] Now should I pull a hammer, clap [Am] it out and laugh about it?
[E] Or stand up, be counted [A] while a [F#m] castle is ratting?
Home run but you are busy [E] and the prisons are crowded.
People living in fear [D] because their vision is clodded.
[F#] But the sky is the limit.
[E] I ain't crying.
You and whoever got the moves in the mountain [D] are forgetting.
What you say [E] now?

I'm not a liar.
I'm not a [Bm] liar.
[F#m] Hands on [E] my heels, gain the momentum, I'm tired.
Can't get on [A] the spot, quit running.
I can feel the only inches behind.
I sleep, I [E] survive.
Somehow I got the [D] desire.
How much I've wanted [F#] love, is anybody [E] listening?
But I would probably pissing if I disappeared.
Wonder [D] if the world would know I'm [C#m] missing.
Who my support system?
It's not the court system.
Got a letter, but it said [D] that you would not avoid this.
[F#] The microscope [Am] is weak upon [Em] the culture.
It's mindless culture.
[D] Like you, Shantanu, you know [F#] for your own head.
Say [Am] we need a product [Em] that knows it, but it needs exposures.
[F#m] We need a substance.
It's the past generation.
[E] The anger and the nation got the fighting on the wall [D] so clear.
That I could face [F#m] it like a kid slipping loose [E] somewhere.
Trying to stick because we phone a good and make it.
Got the song, we can roll.
