D/F#
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F#
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F#
[Verse]
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
Here again I find myself in the belly of the beast
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
Trying to make sense of all this ruin and decline
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
There's no seat at the table for the beggars at the feast
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F#
Or anybody unprepared to toe the line
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
The dogs of war devour doves and beggars at the feet
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
Hawks and greedy leaders that clap along and bare their teeth
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
An insipid and compliant press in lockstep on the beat
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
Splashing three word slogans neither them or us believe
[Chorus]
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
Oh please forgive that step into the dark
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
This road will lead us nowhere, this path will see us lost
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
Oh I guess everybody's got a rubicon to cross
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
The future's suffocating on an echo from the past
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
[Verse]
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
It's all the same to me if you're red, green, white, black or blue
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
It's your hands that hold the reins, your only mandate is the truth
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
A guardian of future's for the ragged and the bruised
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
A mouthpiece for the voiceless, not a vassal of the few
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
The saying goes that people get the leaders they deserve
D/F# Cadd9 G D/F# A7sus4
Take a look at our leaders, I guess that makes us all absurd
[Chorus/Outro]
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
Oh please forgive that step into the dark
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
This road will lead us nowhere, this path will see us lost
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
Oh I guess everybody's got a rubicon to cross
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
The future's suffocating on an echo from the past
D/F# C
The saying goes that people get the leaders they deserve
G D/F#
Here we are in the belly of the beast
D/F# C G D/F#
The saying goes that people get the leaders they deserve
D/F# C G D/F# A7sus4
D/F# C G D/F#
