_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] I don't wanna live in a [B] blowhard nation with the king in a [E] tinsely crown

[E] It's the old rat race, so get ready for the chase, [B] cause the fat cats are gaining [E] ground
I _ _ _ _ got [C#m] up this morning [A] and I grabbed me a paper [E] to read up on [B] the low, low down
The front page feature [A] was a weird looking creature [F#] with a rug and a [B] jolly frown
[E] Some of my sinister [E] neighbors are rattling their [A] sabers and a circus is coming [F#] to town

_ _ _ Are [C#m] they all lying?
[A] For Christ almighty, [E] but there ain't no spine in the words
And [C#m] when they talk the resurrection, [A] they're thinking the election, [F#] it's the saddest thing I ever [E] heard
And the [E] whole debate has a sickening weight like [A] a steel when the hammer comes [F#] down
When [E] you see the [B] cross, well you better get lost, they're gonna burn [E] something down
I _ don't wanna live in a blowhard nation with the king in a tinsely crown
_ When the whole thing wobbles and the wheels come [F#] off, you know it's gonna [B] go down
It's the same sad story [E] about the power and the glory [A] and the big shots living [F#]

_ They're all [C#m] talk, talk, talking while the whole town's walking [F#] down a boulevard of [A] broken dreams
Now [E] he's in money, he's as sweet as honey to a hick hanging off [F#] of a plow
But make no mistake when they're showing you the cake, [B] they'll never let you eat it [E] now
