You wanna spread the flame

Get the blood off of your name

Well, we fought this before
G
And we'll fight it once more
A                                      B7

C
Well, now more than ever
G
We face it together

It's a blessing and a curse to be alive

Chorus:
Em  B  Bm             A
Woahh, I don't really know
     C
What tomorrow will bring
         G
Will you break the machine
A                                B
Just to protect your glass moral code?

Em  B                A

What you think is the bloat
        G
Rip out each other's throats

I don't wanna hear about your new scapegoat

When the fire starts to burn

Think of all the things you've learned
Bm                                            A
Use your brain 'cause maybe it's just all bad luck

Trust your gut, take the leap
G
Try to land on your feet
A                                       B7
And if you don't, then you get the fuck back up

Em
And there's no time for playing or pissing around
B                                     A
Lick your wounds then get back to the game
C
They want you to quit
G
Call you a hypocrite
A                                   B7
And make you forget you know how to rage

Chorus:
Em  B  Bm             A

     C
What tomorrow will bring
          G
What this world even means
A                           B
Why you fake having a moral code

Em  B                A
Woahh, I don't wanna know
          C
Paralyzed from the smoke
          G
Terrified you'll be choked
A                             B        Em
I don't wanna hear about your new scapegoat

Bridge:
Em
Eyes burning, dripping, yellow fluid in your lungs
Em                               B7
It blackens your throat with the heat of the sun
B7
Signs are dropped as bodies follow
                    Em
Everyone else threw in the towel

Em
Feet stomping, cracking, as your ears continue ringing
Em                         B7
You look to the sky to see angels singing
B7
Taste the concrete as you reach out your hand
B7                 Em
An early death was always the plan

Bridge 2:
A
(Oooooo)
Em
How can I continue the show?
A
(Oooooo)
Em
If it's a crime to even know
A
(Oooooo)
Em
If it's a crime to break the mold
A
(Oooooo)
N.C         B7
This bloody circle's getting old

Verse 3:
Em
Every four fucking years
B
They spin the wheel of fear
Bm                                    A
Choose a different country, color, or creed
C
And they fall for it, so
G
What's the point of the polls?
A                                G
To pick your favorite conduit of greed?

So much for land of the free
B
'Cause if you're not like me

You'll be shot and then stripped of your name

I don't wanna go to Mars
         G
Or own a self-driving car
A                                            B7
I want my friends and family to feel they're safe
