[E] [C]
[Em]
[G] [C]
[Am] [Em] So tell me family now, what do [G] you think?
Watch it all grow down that great [E] big scene.
Watch how this economy rises to [G] the top.
Don't you wanna win?
It's all gonna [Em] stop.
Sometimes I wonder how we [G] do sleep.
Serving [C] the dodgy companies [Em] we keep.
Our kitchens grounding for the very first place.
[C] Dictionary definition of [Em] a rat race.
Pay off those losers we elect [G] to lead.
Stealing [C] from the [Am] mouths of women to feed.
Enslaving the very clothes upon [G] my back.
I [C] feel the sting but I hear no [A] crack, no crack.
[C] I'm singing.
Running through [G] the fire, running through [D] the flame.
Running through the hatred, running through [C] the flame.
Running through [G] the hopelessness [D] and shame.
Revolution already on [Em] the way.
[C] [G]
[C] [Em]
Big heavy pirates man digging [G] those holes.
[C] Missing something that they can't [Am] control.
[Em] Just passing lands where they don't [G] belong.
All [C] I hear is screaming of the ones [Am] worse songs.
[Em] I'm not brothers, they are fighting [C] those wars.
Fighting over scraps and scraping [Am] their souls.
[Em] On the blanket of a fire [G] and I'm crying.
That can't [C] keep us warm or cold.
[Am] Inside, inside I'm [C] singing.
Running through [G] the fire, running through the [D] flame.
Running through the hatred, running through [C] the flame.
Running through [G] the hopelessness [D] and shame.
Revolution already on [Am] the [E] way.
[Em] [C]
[D] [Em]
[G] [C]
[G] So [Em] tell me when you think we're gonna [G] rise.
Away from [C] this slumber, wiping tears from [Am] our eyes.
This [Em] room, this nightmare, yes I'm most [G] knowing.
Open [C] up this mind, this lonely, [Am] hard day.
[E] People sick and tired and pushed [G] around.
We call [C] them kings but I see no [Am] crown.
[Em] Tell me when you think we'll just [G] stand up.
Say [C] love is enough, [E] is enough, enough.
I'm [C] singing.
Running through [G] the fire, running through [D] the flame.
Running through the hatred, running through [C] the flame.
Running through the [G] hopelessness and [D] shame.
Revolution already on [C] the way.
Take [G] back your meat, take back [D] your lands.
Take back your words, take back your [C] land.
Take [G] back your heart, take back your [D] pride.
Don't got to, don't got [C] to.
