Intro:

DmDm


Verse 1:

      DmDm
And so the artist screams, into an empty cup
           C majorC               G minorGm
He says that you're a soulless bunch, but you could still wake up
    DmDm
And the capitalist, says he's born to be free
         C majorC                G minorGm
He says, "You're poor, my friends, but you don't have to be"

Chorus 1:

        DmDm
Here's what we know
  FF                Bb majorBb
We don't know what we got or if we got it
  G minorGm             DmDm
And what we had, we already forgot it
  FF            Bb majorBb
The race is evidently to the bottom
  G minorGm                   DmDm
We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say
           Bb majorBb  G minorGm
I don't know what to say


Verse 2:

      DmDm
And so the thumpers preach, both love and hate
         C majorC              G minorGm
They say, "you're naughty filth, but you could still be saved"
    DmDm
And the people wait, for the bell to ring
       C majorC           G minorGm
They say, "we need a song, we need a song to sing"

Chorus 2:

        DmDm
Here's what we know
  FF                Bb majorBb
We don't know what we got or if we got it
  G minorGm             DmDm
And what we had, we already forgot it
  FF            Bb majorBb
The race is evidently to the bottom
  G minorGm
We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say


Bridge:

FF
Don't know what it was but we want it back
   Bb majorBb
Like every generation will repeat the last
   FF
Put a halo on a figurehead or photograph
 Bb majorBb
Resist a little bit and then become the man
     C majorC
Dreaming of a simpler time, it occurs to me
     DmDm
That the past is hypothetical fantasy
  G minorGm
And nostalgia just ain't what it used to be


Solo:

DmDm FF Bb majorBb G minorGm


Chorus 3:

We don't know what we got or if we got it
  G minorGm             DmDm
And what we had, we already forgot it
  FF            Bb majorBb
The race is evidently to the bottom
  G minorGm
We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say


  FF                Bb majorBb
We don't know what we got or if we got it
  G minorGm             DmDm
And what we had, we already forgot it
  FF            Bb majorBb
The race is evidently to the bottom
  G minorGm                   FF  Bb majorBb
We don't, we don't, we don't know what to say
          FF  Bb majorBb
Don't know what to say
           DmDm
I don't know what to say
