Verse:
          Am                Em
  Now the future's staring at me

 C                       G
  Like a vision from the past

        Am                Em
  And I know these crumbs they sold me

 C                       G
  They are never going to last

             Am                Em
  Though we know the culture war

 C                       G
  We dont know what it's for

            Am                Em
  But we've lived a southern strategy

      C                     D             B           C
  But no, it's never gonna last, so keep it in the past

  They're paying for our crimes


Verse:

      Am                Em

C                       G
  You said it's damning

          Am                Em
  Oh, I've read a little Bible

      C                       G
  You see what you want to see

      Am                Em
  The dominoes, they never fell

      C                    G
  Our bodies they still burn

    Am                Em
  I throw my hand into the fire
