[Bb]
How [C] [Bb] [C]
do you document real life when real life's getting more [D] like fiction each day?
[C] Headlines, breadlines blow my mind and now this [D] deadline, eviction or [E] pay?
[Gm] Rats!
[C] How do you write a song when the chords sound wrong, though they once [D] sounded right and rare?
[C] When the notes are sour, where is the power you once [D] had to ignite?
[E] Yeah!
[F] We're hungry and [C] frozen, some lives that we've [Gm] chosen.
How we gonna pay?
[Eb] La [C]-di-da!
How do you start a fire when there's nothing to burn and it feels like [D] something's stuck in your glue?
[C] How can you generate heat when you can't feel your [D] feet in the turning [E] blue?
[F] You light up the mean [C] place and [Gm] scream!
How we gonna pay?
[Eb]
Last [C] year's la-
[Am]
[G] [Am] [G] [C] How do you stay on your feet when on every street it's trick or treat [D] and tonight it's trick?
[C] Welcome to the town or I should lie down, everything's [D] brown and oh, [E] I feel sick.
[F] Where is [C] he?
In [Gm] this-
How we gonna pay?
[Eb] Last year's la-
[Am] The [Em] music ignites the [C] night with passionate [G] fire.
[Am] The [Em] narration crackles and [C] pops with incendiary [G] wits.
[Am] Two [Em] minutes they burn the [C] past to the ground and [G] feel the heat of the [A] future glow.
[D] How do you leave the past behind when it keeps finding [E] ways to get to your heart?
[D] It reaches way down deep and tears you inside [E] out through your [Gb] torn apart [D] ribs.
How can you connect in an age where strangers, landlords, lovers, [E] your own blood cells betray?
[D] Blood binds the fabrics together when the raging shifting winds of [E] change keep ripping [Gb] away.
[G] You're a line in the [D] sand and then make the [G] sand.
You said you were small!
[D] Use your [G] guitar.
When they act [D] up, you call them [Am] bluff.
We're not gonna pay.
We're not [F] gonna pay.
Last [D] year's [F] red.
This [D] year's [F] red.
Next [D] year's red.
Red, red, [D] red, red, red.
We're not gonna pay [Bb] less.
Cause [C] everything [D] is red.
