Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
Cmaj7 Am Em D
( I've seen )
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Am
I've seen enough of it
Em
The sides are all cemented
D
Their incentives look the same
Cmaj7 Am
Are they vetted in the same ways?
Em
As the little guy puts blood and tears
D Cmaj7
Into pushing deadweight on the capital steps
Am Em
Bleeding out for a caricature of a '50s salesman
D Cmaj7
Hare checklist, tickin' every box
D
Dead for what?
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
Em D
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Cmaj7 Am
I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 D
We're still a long way off
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Am
Some get along with it
Em
They drag around from town to town
D
With a pretty lie that hoodwinked many
Cmaj7 Am
of my loved ones
Em
And I owe it to my folks
D
for giving me an understanding
Cmaj7 Am
of a world that shot my people down
Em
The hungry and divided play
D Cmaj7
into the hands of the man who put them there
D
So it goes
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
Em D
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Cmaj7 Am
I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 Am Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 Am Em D
We're still a long way off
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 Am
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
Em D
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Cmaj7 Am
I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 Am Em D
We're still a long way off
Cmaj7 Am Em D
We're still a long way off
I've seen enough of it
The sides are all cemented
Their incentives look the same
Are they vetted in the same ways?
As the little guy puts blood and tears
Into pushing deadweight on the capital steps
Bleeding out for a caricature of a '50s salesman
Hare checklist, ticking every box
Dead for what?
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
I heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
Some get along with it
They drag around from town to town
With a pretty lie that hoodwinked many of my loved ones
And I owe it to my folks for giving me an understanding
Of a world that shot my people down
The hungry and divided play into the hands of the men who put them there
So it goes
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
Standing on the side, I never was the silent type
All the endless grey conundrums that are painted black and white
Heard a hundred million voices sound the same both left and right
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
We're still a long way off
