[Verse 1]

Em
This isn't a dream don't know why you don't care
Em
See your face in a photograph, you say you weren't there
C Am
You say, "I wasn't there,"
Em
You say, "I wasn't there."

Em
This is a storm and this is the warning

This is a war and this is it forming

Still feels like no one cares

Anything you wanna keep

Em
Shot by the pig with the badge and the gun
Em
Killed by an elephant, and not just the one
C Am
Maybe we should burn it down
Em
We should burn you down

Em
Poor little pharmacy who lit in a fire
Em
Mister commissioner why don't you retire?
C Am
We're gonna burn it down
Em
We're gonna burn it all down

Anything you wanna keep

While the world burns we warm our feet
G Em C Am
Old men in bed by ten, the joke's on me

Nothing but a memory
