G+G D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD
Verse 1:
G+G
You came of age on stolen land
D MajorD
In a home built by your father's hand
E minorEm D* C majorC
When a man with will and stone and steel can make it
G+G
But all those days of bein' proud
D MajorD
Of what you've done are long gone now
E minorEm D* C majorC
Humility's a trait that's been outdated
Chorus:
G+G
Oh they tore this old world down
D MajorD
And sold it back to you half priced
G+G
Prefabricated
Verse 2:
G+G
You learn young not to ask for much
D MajorD
Steady work and a gentle touch
E minorEm D* C majorC
But what little that you had has all been taken
G+G
Til there ain't no money ain't no pride
D MajorD
Just a burnin' hatred deep inside
E minorEm D* G+G
They saw your anger and showed you where to blame it
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
They ain't given you one damn thing since they realized
G+G
That your vote's prefabricated
Verse 3:
G+G
Oh they took the jobs an' they brought in smack
D MajorD
Those old days ain't comin' back
E minorEm D* C majorC
We can't see ahead through bloodshot eyes
G+G
When you can't make nothin' for yourself
D MajorD C majorC
You break what you can to bring it down to size
Verse 4:
G+G
Well all those men in nice suits wait
D MajorD
With old St. Peter and the Fates
E minorEm D* C majorC
The church and her bridegroom shall be mated
G+G
Cause those preachers do their very best
D MajorD
To keep out who they deem the rest
E minorEm D* C majorC
On earth as it's in heaven keep it gated
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
There ain't no need to do justice or love kindness
G+G
When it's all prefabricated
