Verse 1: Fm There's something buried deep between these lines G#BbFm that you will never see It's something that they G#BbFm don't want us to fi-gure out Were suffocating under all the lies and G#BbFm picture perfect smiles The presidents and G#BbC# photographs in ma-ga-zines Eb And no ones listening
Chorus 1: G# We are the lives that will Eb decide the state of desperation FmC#Eb Divided by a sense of doubt G# We'll fight for you Eb We'll break the rules We'll write this indignation FmC#Eb Until it all comes crashing down
Post Chorus: Fm--G#-Bb- x2
Verse 2: Fm There's something wrong when television is the G#BbFm basis for our lives They want us to believe G#BbFm in everything we see It's getting harder now G# that all the innocence BbFm has passed us by
Now everybody wants to G#BbC# get something for free Eb And no ones listening
(Repeat Chorus 1)
Bridge: C# And everybody Fm wants the truth But they're too Eb scared to face it C# They just don't FmEb accept what's happening C# We just sit back Fm and watch the world destroy itself EbC# when We all know EbEb(hold) something's wrong
Chorus 2: G# We are the lives that will Eb decide the state of desperation FmC#Eb Divided by a sense of doubt G# We'll fight for you Eb We'll break the rules We'll write this indignation FmC#Eb Until it all comes crashing down G#FmC#Eb Until it all G#FmC#EbFm(hold) comes crashing down
