Key: E

Verse 1:
           Em                     G6
So tell me family now what do you think
             C                     Asus2
Watch it all go down the great big sink
              Em                   G6
Watch how the scum it rises to the top
          C                          Asus2
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop
            Em               G6
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep
            C                  Asus2
Serving the dodgy companies we keep
                Em                            G6
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place
           C                   Asus2
Dictionary definition of a rat race
              Em                 G6
Pay off those losers we elect to lead
                  C                          Asus2
Stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed
              Em                   G6
Enslaving the very clothes upon my back
           C                   Asus2                       C
I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm saying

Chorus:
                    G                         D
Running through the fire, running through the flame
                                                C
Running through the hatred, pushing through the blame
                    G                D
Running through the hopelessness and shame
                       Em
Revolution already underway

Verse 2:
                                    G6
Big Heavy Pirates man digging those holes
             C                            Asus2
Messing with something that they can't control
             Em                       G6
Tresspassing lands where they don't belong
              C                               Asus2
All I hear is screaming where there once were songs
         Em                               G6
I got my brothers they are fighting those wars
              C                         Asus2
Fighting over scraps and scraping their souls
        Em                    G6
Under a blanket of a fire and pride
                   C                   Asus2
That can't keep us warm for the cold inside inside,
          C
I'm sayin

Chorus:
                    G                         D
Running through the fire, running through the flame
                                                C
Running through the hatred, pushing through the blame
                    G                D
Running through the hopelessness and shame
                        Em
Revolution already underway

Verse 3:
                                      G6
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?
               C                               Asus2
Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes?
              Em                       G6
Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake
        C                 Asus2
Open my fist my destiny I take
            Em                              Asus2
Good people sick and tired of being pushed around
             C                  Asus2
We call them kings but I see no crown
             Em                         G6
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up
      C                   Asus2                   C
Say enough is enough is enough, enough I'm saying

Chorus:
                    G                         D
Running through the fire, running through the flame
                                                C
Running through the hatred, pushing through the blame
                    G                D
Running through the hopelessness and shame
                            C
Revolution already underway
               G                    D
Take back your feet, take back your hands

Take back your words, take back your lands
               C                     G
Take back your heart, take back your pride
             D
Don't got to run, don't got to hide
