Verse 1:
F
Didn't wake up dead or in jail

Some out-of-town boys been giving us hell
           Am
I got some bad news
          G
I woke up missing you
   F
My friends are all degenerates, but they're all I've got
F

The generational story of dropping the plot
            Am
I heard the cops came
                     G
Cocky motherfuckers, ain't they?
    F
And ICE is gonna come bust down your door

Try to build a house no one builds no more
            Am
But I got a telephone
                        G
Kids are all scared and all alone
    F
The bars stopped bumping, the rock stopped rolling
F
The middle fingers rising, and it won't stop showing
           Am
I got some bad news
                       G
The fading of the red, white and blue


Chorus:
Am   G      C    F
This land's your land
     Am   G    F
This land mine too
   Am   G   C     F
Is this all true, man?
              G   C
Or is it just bad news?

Well, he said, she said, mirrors and smoke

Horizon's turned red and let's all hope
           Am
I got some bad news
          G
I woke up missing you
   F
My friends are all degenerates, but they're all I've got
F
Everyday on the news someone else is shot
           Am
I got some bad news
                       G
The fading of the red, white and blue

I served eight years just to be told

That nobody cares and land's all sold
           Am
I got some bad news
          G
I woke up missing you

Am   G      C    F
This land's your land

This land mine too

Or is it just bad news?
