[Intro]
G
[Verse]
G C
Sometimes I stare at the night sky
G D
See them stars a billion light years away
Em C
And it makes me feel small like a bug on a wall
G D
Who gives a shit anyway?
D Em
Who gives a shit anyway?
Em C Em D
G C
When World War II was over
G D
Though the slate was never wiped clean
Em C
We could have picked over them broken bones
G D
We could have been free
Em C
But we chose to adhere to abundance
Em D
We chose the American Dream
Em C
And ooo, Mistress Liberty –
D Em
How we abandoned thee
[Chorus]
Em C
How
Em D
We abandoned thee
Em C
And oh, Mistress Liberty
D G
How we abandoned thee
[Verse]
G C
Could've been born in Shreveport
G D
Or he could've born in Tehran
Em C
It don't much matter wherever you're born
G D
Little babies mean us no harm
Em C
They have to be taught to despise us
Em D
To bulldoze our homes to the ground
Em C
To believe their fight is for liberty
D Em
To believe their god will keep them safe and sound
[Chorus]
Em C
Safe and sound
Em D
Safe and sound
[Verse]
G C
We cannot turn back the clock
G D
Cannot go back in time
Em
But we can say:
C
Fuck you, we will not listen to
D Em
Your bullshit and lies
[Outro]
Em C
D Em
Your bullshit and lies
