[C] [Am] Living [G] in the wasteland of the [C] free.
[G] We've got creatures dealing in [C] collotapes and diamond mines.
[G] And there's creatures roaming [C] and creeping the unkind.
[Am] And they say they are Christ's [F] disciples.
They don't reflect Jesus to me.
[C] And people like I am [G] living in the [C] wasteland of the free.
[G] We've got politicians running [C] races on corporate cash.
Now don't [G] tell me they don't turn [C] around and kiss them people's ass.
[Am] You may call me old [F]-fashioned, but I don't spread my picture of true democracy.
[C] And I'm like I am [G] living in the [C] wasteland of the free.
[G] We've got CEOs making [C] 200 times what workers pay.
But [G] don't fight like hell [C] against raising the minimum wage.
[Am] If you don't like your master, now [F] shift your job to some third-world country property.
And [C] I feel like I am [G] living in the [C] wasteland of the free.
[F] Living in [G] the wasteland [C] of the free.
[E] Where the poor are now becoming [Am] enemies.
[F] Let's blame [C] our troubles on the weak.
[E] What sounds like some [Am] kind of healthy [F] remedy.
Living [G] in the wasteland of the [C] free.
We [G] got little kids with guns [C] fighting inner-city wars.
But [G] what do we do if we put [C] these little kids behind prison doors?
[Am] And we call ourselves the advanced [F] civilization.
That sounds like crap to me.
[C] People like I am [G] living in the [C] wasteland of the free.
We [G] got high school kids running [C] around in Calvin Klein and Gag.
Who can [G] I say sits, [C] grades, reading tests?
But [Am] if you ask them, they can't tell you [F] the name of every part of MTV.
And it [C] feels like I am [D] living in the [C] wasteland of the free.
We [G] kill for oil, then we throw [C] a party when we win.
Some [G] guy refuses to [C] fight, we call that the sin.
[Am] He's standing up for what he believes in.
[F] Max is hurting down America, and to me, [C] people like I am [G] living in the [C] wasteland of the free.
[F] Living in [G] the wasteland of [C] the free.
[E] Well, horror now become the [Am] enemy.
[F] Let flame art [C] swaveled on the weak one [E] sound like some [Am] kind of healthy [F] remedy.
Living in [G] the wasteland of the [C] free.
[F] While we sit [C] gloating in our greatness, [E] just as the dangerous [Am] battle of the sea.
[A] [F] Living in [G] the wasteland of the [C] free.
[Am] Living [G] in the wasteland of the [C] free.
[A] Living [Bm] in the wasteland of the [C] free.
