Your fucked-up system, this sinister city
                A#                     C
Try to sell the water, try to sell the air

Try to sell your daughter, try to sell her hair

Hide in a hole with a gun in your hand in front of someone you want dead

I guess, hiding in your suit

End up reviled for it, yeah that's the thanks I get

A#                    C
Jail, that's what you get
                Dm                     A#
Stepping to the system, profiting from war
                A#                     C
Fighting as the victim, always wanting more
                Dm                                  A#
Trying to trick your brothers, get them to fight it for ya

I cannot believe my eyes

Darling I can tell you lies

I don't know geography all that well

Defying Western logic, even if it shows you’re wrong
                 A#                         C
I guess that's a classic, been with us all along
