[D] Today, we're gonna learn about the world
The [Em]
[A] world that's around us.
It's [D] pretty amazing.
But how does it work?
It must be
[Em]
Complicated the [A] secret is the world [D] can only work when everything works [Em] together
a bee [A] drinks from a flower and [D] leaves with its pollen a squirrel in a tree spreads the [Em] seeds that have fallen
[A] everything works [D] together
The biggest elephant the littlest fly
The gophers underground the birds in the [Bm] sky and every single cricket every fish in the [G] sea
Gives what they [E] can and gets what they [D] need
That [Bm] is how the world [G] works
That is how the world [D] works
From a to zebra to the worms in the [G] dirt
[A] That's how [D] it works

Hey
Where you been Socko?
I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand in a

It's similar to a constant state of sleep [Bm] paralysis
Socko we were just talking [D] about the world and how it works

genocide and
[Em] exploitation the global [A] network of capital
[D] Essentially functions to separate the worker from the [G] means of production and the [A] FBI
killed [D] Martin Luther King private [Em] properties inherently [D] theft and
neoliberal fascists are destroying the [Bm] left and every
Politician every cop on the street [G] protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate [D] elite
That [G#] is how the world [G] works
That is how the world [D] works genocide the natives say you got to it [G] first.
[A] That's how
[D] It works that's pretty intense
No shit.
What can I do to help?
Read a book or something.
I don't know just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you.
It's incredibly exhausting
I'm sorry Socko.
I was just trying to become a better person
Why do you rich fucking white people insist on seeing every socio-political conflict through the myopic lens of your own?
Self [F#m]-actualization this [D] isn't about you
