                  D#5-D5                       D5
in the heart of America has blood on their hands

F5-Chords

Like the heartbeat

             D5 – D#5-F5-D5
collected and amazed

Tabloid gossip we want less real

                          D5 – D#5-F5-D5
(There's no need for us to bury you)

               D5 – D#5-F5-D5
Selfish agenda, once again

D5
(Right this way, you dug your own grave)

Back to: Chorus

D#5-D5                D5
All  the way from the east to the west

D#5-D5
We’ve got this high society

       D#5-D5        D5
looking down on their very foundation

D#5-D5                                  D#5-D5
Constantly reminding us that our actions

                    D5            D#5-D5
are the cause of all their problems

                        D5              D#5-D5
pointing their fingers in every direction

                 D5     D#5-D5
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections

          D5            F5     D5
They never contributed a f~king thing

to the country they love to critize

Gm
Excuse the obscene

 Cm
Ignore the untrue

F
Depictions we see

Bb                 Bb/G#
Try and get through

        Gm       –      Cm
And many mistakes can hurt

D7-9                   G
I'm not the last but I sure ain't the first
