Verse 1
Bb
40 million refugees
Eb
F
with no place on this earth
Bb
to call their home
One for every aimless graduate
Eb
F
Bb
with nothing else to show for it belongs
Cm
Bb
Eb
Bb
An d those of us who make our mark
F
Bb
use someone else's blood
Eb
Bb
Our western stain won't wash away,
F
Bb
it won't vanish in the flood
Cm
Bb
It sits deeper through each hurricane
Eb
F
Gm
and tidal wave war
F
Bb
Oh oh oh
Dm
Gm
We want everything we see
F
Bb
and once it's gone we just want more
Atlas had those shoulders,
Eb
we've got Am bien and
F
Bb
Jamesons and Blow
To bind us in a bubble
Eb
and keep the newsprint nightmare
F
Bb
distant and remote
Cm
Bb
Eb
Bb
But when we waken guillotines
F
Bb
and pitch our screaming fits
Eb
Bb
When the governor strikes up the band
F
Bb
and gags our parted lips
Cm
Bb
When the worst case shows up dressed and dazzling,
Eb
F
Gm
ready for the ball
Bb
Oh, oh, oh
Dm
Gm
Boy, that bubble's bound to burst
Eb
F
Bb
and what a tragic way to fall
The tabloids tell us, hate the rat
Eb
F
Who strikes those subways closed
Bb
and puts you out
Forget those 50 hour tunnel weeks
Eb
F
Inhaling steel dust poison
Bb
through his mouth
Eb
Bb
Well if you don't deserve a pension
F
That makes family feel secure
Bb
Eb
If we're now so disconnected
Bb
F
It's our reflections we ignore
Bb
Cm
And if our constant choice
Bb
is skimming past
Eb
F
Gm
The writing on the wall
F
Bb
Oh, oh, oh
Dm
Gm
Then I'm sad to say we're lost
Eb
Gm
Eb
F
Bb
And I'm embarrassed for us all
So most days I can't put to rest
Eb
F
Bb
The burning city smoking in my mind
And I play and pretend the principles
Eb
Are nothing more than act
F
Bb
ors running lines
Eb
Bb
And I stumble through a movie set
F
Bb
Where torture victims laugh
Eb
Bb
At embedded journalists
F
who juggle knives and
Bb
dagger glass
Cm
While they entertain a mob
Bb
Eb
F
Gm
F
Bb
of heads of state and CEOs
Dm
Gm
A staggered past anarchist extras
Eb

Dm

Eb
F
Bb
So I turn and I see Uncle Sam
Eb
F
Bb
All tied up, wardrobe ready for a shoot
So I walk right up and talk to him
Eb
F
I tell him that I'm scared
Bb
and I'm confused
Gm
Eb
Bb
While they test the cameras out
F
and get the lighting right
Bb
Eb
Bb
While catering fills coffee cups
F
Bb
and carves up apple pie
Cm
Bb
And while the stylists trim his beard
Eb
F
Gm
and straighten those pals
Bb
Dm
Gm
Oh -oh -oh, I ask his empires
Eb
F
what made him drive us straight to hell
Bb
Dm
And as my daydream ends,
Gm
he stands ashamed,
Eb
F
a shocked and shattered shell
Bb
Cm
Bb
But there's nev er any answer
Eb
F
Gm
from my starving tongue to tell
F
Bb
Oh -o h -oh,
Dm
Gm
cause the director's shouting action
Eb
F
Bb
But I'm sad it's just as well
