Standard (EADGBE)

Intro chord then picked chord

Gbar

The dogs are barking in the yard and the pigs are getting fatter

Gbar

I’m losing count of all the snakes but I just can’t find the ladders

My hands are bound my tongue is tied but my eyes are open wide

Gbar

The rich man, well he doesn’t mind and the poor man doesn’t matter

Now’s the time, the fire to light

Rise up each man demand our rights

D like intro

Let’s fight

Let’s fight

There’s no escape for fools like me and the dreams I keep are shattered

I use to think that truth would out and that people really mattered

But now I see the world for real and all the things that they conceal

They broke the bonds that we had made and all the pieces scattered

And at the dawn of this new day the children do not sing and play

The world they see is not the same and we’re the people they should blame

We quit the race, folded our cards, we gave in because it was hard

We should be showing them our scars the trophies of success

But all that we have left them is a great big stinking mess
