Money Game

[Intro]
Cm Cm Gm Gm
 
[Verse 1]
       Cm
It's a strange time we're living in
 
World can put fear in ya
Cm
Hierarchy parties, they make us feel inferior
Gm
Greed runs through the parliament interior
Gm
Devils walk among us, they fit the criteria
Cm
Eerie theories strike fear in weary minded men
Cm
When we’re clearly living in dictatorships?
Gm
Nearly blinded by illusions to choose
          Gm
But who's fooling who?
N.C.
A ball chained to your shoes I'm pained
Cm
  It's a cryin' shame
    Cm
The pursuit of our own wealth lights a flame
           Gm
That makes greed a game that lets the whole world burn
Gm
As the world turns, the whole world burns
Cm
  But money was invented for trade
              Cm
But now those bits of paper twist hearts, make slaves
        Gm
Turns a saint into a sinner, a child into a killer
    F
His finger on the trigger of a money game
 
 
[Chorus]
          Cm
Oh, rain, rain, rain, rain
  Cm
A storm it comes our way
    Gm
And those who rise through distorted lies
F
Poison in the veins
                         Cm
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame
     Cm
It's easier to blame
    Gm
But point the mirror at ourselves
Gm                         F
We're all part of this old money game
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Cm        Gm
  Mmm-mmm-mmm
     F
This old money game
Cm        Gm  F*
  Mmm-mmm-mmm
 
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.
Dear Mr. President
     Cm                            
It's evident that everyone's a resident of fear
N.C.
When they support these ideas that keep us separate
         Gm                                    Gm
When the make us believe that everybody is coming
 
To terrorise you in the streets
     Gm
They say proudly through gritted teeth
 N.C.
"It's my right to hate, that's freedom of speech"
              Cm
But, when did freedom become a reason to hate?
         Cm
A way to justify a racial slur or insult we make
           Gm
There's an irony in freedom, 'cause us in the west
        N.C.
We have pillaged and plundered and murdered like savages
 N.C.
Colonised all of the rest, that's called hypocrisy
Cm
Preach a certain value that you'd never keep yourselves
 
If your country was in flames
                   Gm
You'd emigrate yourselves in a second
 
Still, you spit your venom
Gm
Demonising immigrants, when really your an immigrant
       Cm
'Cause all of us are immigrants, or descended from immigrants
                            Gm
The irony is imminent, I'll shed the light on immigrants
N.C.
America was colonised by Britain
N.C.
Britain, it was colonised by Rome
N.C.
And also colonised by the Saxons
N.C.
They were German by the way
N.C.
You know how people throw shade upon the Germans
N.C.
'Cause of histories pain?
           Gm
And yet we make the same mistakes all again
 
Demonise a whole people Jewish or Muslim
 
The same and the same
Cm
Old situation plays on repeat
         Cm
The same old TV shows repeat
 
Yeah, we worship the bleak
     Gm
Our opinions aren't our own and we follow like sheep
           Gm
There's no left, there's no right, in the middle we sleep
 
 
[Chorus]
      Cm
Rain, rain, rain, rain
  Cm
A storm, it comes our way
    Gm
And those who rise through distorted lies
F
Poison in the veins
                         Cm
But we like to point the blame, blame, blame, blame
     Cm
It's easier to blame
    Gm
But point the mirror at ourselves
F
We're all part of this old money game
 
 
[Outro]
N.C.
Mmm-mmm-mmm
N.C.
This old money game
N.C.
Mmm-mmm-mmm
