I [C#] learned to count, but I found [F#] out there is no balance game.
[C#] People know, I think we [F#] know, for some it's living hell.
[C#] Dirty laundry in the [F#] contract, can't trust on the cell.
[C#] Broken link, future [F#] sinking, and no one gives a damn.
[C#] No working day, no weekly [F#] pay, can't even [D#m] feed my kid.
[C#] For broken folk, no [F#] antidote, while others get so fed.
[D#m] Think I'll [C#] call my lord tonight, [A#m] and ask him how he'll see, this good old world to me.
[F#] And if I read [C#] my Bible right, [A#m] and search for better time, don't want to do no crime.
[D#] Times are kind of slow, [G] the better [G#] days got to show, and everybody [C#] knows.
Dirty laundry in [F#] the contract, can't trust on the cell.
[C#] Broken link, future [F#] sinking, and no one gives a damn.
[C#] The dollar bill, you think is real, [F#] spends to buy you nothing.
[C#] For broken folk, no [Fm] antidote, [F#] just trying to get me something.
[D#m] Think I'll call [C#] my lord tonight, [A#m] and ask him how he'll see, this good old world to me.
[F#] And if I read my [C#] Bible right, the [D#] times are kind of slow, but better days [G#] got to show, and everybody [C#] knows.
Dirty laundry in the [F#] contract, can't trust on the cell.
[C#] Broken link, future sinking, [F#] and no one gives a [D#m] damn.
[C#] People hustle, and preach the gospel, [F#] too many words to hear.
[C#] No working day, no weekly pay, [F#] the old folks live in fear.
[C#] Dirty laundry in the contract.
[F#]
[D#m] [C#] Dirty laundry in the contract.
[F#]
[C#] Dirty laundry in the [F#] contract.
