Verse:
E                            A7       E
the foundation shakes as the dominoes fall
                           B7
the pocekts are emplty the shelters are full
   E                E7          A7          Am
and the prices keep rising in spite of it all
     E            B7        E
in a prison where no one is lookin'

E                              A7        E
philosophies fly from both sides of the fence
                            B7
the light at the end of the tunnel grows dim
       E           E7            A7          Am
all the pieces are placed for a war we can't win
E                     A7         E
where the problem out runs the solution

Chorus:

A7                                                  E
so you better save you better save your tears moma don't you cry
       B7                                        E
beaucse where there's smoke there's fire and the waters running dry
             A7                         E
while politicains funnel money with the wink of an eye
           B7            A7        E
we're goin hungry in the breadline tongiht


Verse:
E                           A7         E
the entrepenuers claw their way to the top
                             B7
the squatters all pan handle down on thier luck
E               E7               A7    Am
everybody wants more and that's never enough
E                    B7     E
we forget what we've got to begin with

E                             A7          E
the bankers count coins under blankets of gold
                              B7
consumers complain while they buy what their sold
        E       E7                A7        Am
and the titanic sails where the snake oil flows
        E             A7        E
and the sharks circle under the surface


Chorus:
A7                                                  E

beaucse where there's smoke there's fire and the waters running dry
             A7                     E
while politicains guzzle 100 dollar bottles of wine
           B7            A7        E
we're goin hungry in the breadline tongiht


Verse:
E                                A7            E
I've see nhighways of people all filled up for miles
                                       B7
they're draggin' their feet while they carry their lives
      E                E7           A7          Am
in an old world that's dying they tryin to survive
E                       B7      E
0n the scraps of what's left to believe in

E                        A7        E
so heres to tomorrow for better or worse
                             B7
we all make the journey from cradle to hearse
E                     E7              A7            Am
and it breaks you and takes you for all that your worth
E                  A7       E
and the cycle just keeps on repeating


Chorus:
A7                                                  E

beaucse where there's smoke there's fire and the waters running dry
             A7                       E
