[Eb] [G] [C]
I told you in school about freedom, when you try to be free they never let you.
They said it's easy, nothing to it, and now the army's off to get you.
[F] 69 American terminal stasses, the air's so thick it's like a drowning in [C] molasses.
I'm sick and tired of paying these dues, [G] and I'm finally getting hip to the [E] American [C] blues.
I'm gonna say the pledge of allegiance, before they beat me bloody down at the station.
They haven't got a word out of me since I got a bit in jail's probation.
[F] 69 American terminal stasses, the air's so thick it's like a drowning in molasses.
[C] I'm sick and tired of paying these dues, [G] and I'm sick to my guts of the American [C] blues.
[A] Phony stars, oh no.
Funny cars, oh no.
Cheap guitars, oh no.
Jones primitive funk.
[G]
Max Sonic, [C]
[G]
[C] [Cm] [G]
[E] [C] complaining for you all is suspicious.
Yeah, but something that just ain't your fault.
If you complain they're gonna get vicious.
Kicking your teeth and charge you with assault.
[F] Yeah, but I can see the chickens coming home to root.
There are people everywhere, I'm gonna cook their [C] boots.
Lots of kids are working, do give you the blues.
[G] Everybody's sick of the [A] American [Bb] [C] blues.
Well, well, well, take a look around.
[G]
