♫ Verse 1:
       F#m                    Bm
It's a tightrope walk between red and blue
          A               G       D
Watch the Friday night fight, the riveting show

It's a short night reaching, and a long day working
         A              G      D
Clocking in, checking out, and crashing down
       F#m                    Bm                    A  G  D
It's a waking dream until you pull back the curtain

♫ Verse 2:
       F#m                 Bm
It's a war on water, it's a war on the pavement
  A            G              D
Awards for the puppet and the overseer
        F#m                      Bm                A  G
And the weapon is hunger and the method is hatred

       F#m                     Bm
It's a tightening chokehold on what you see
A                G           D
  Who points the camera, who points the gun?
       F#m                        Bm                         A  G
If the evidence points back, then why would they screen it?
