Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

If we´re told we´re an asset

Why are we treated like a problem

And if you break our dreams

Do our hearts not go to sleep

Like a dump for broken dreams

Is how this country seems

Splinters of dreams

So it feels

If we´re always discouraged

If time for us can't be afforded

If an open heart gets crushed down

What then is rewarded

In this worl inside a jar

Our jobs are all we are

You are like a ghost

If you have none

When they say we have no use

They must be deaf and blind

Why should we take abuse

I pay no mind

If everything´s perfunctory

Only made half-heartedly

If all is done by default

What is done from the heart

Like a dump for broken dreams

Is how this country seems

Splinters of dreams

So it feels

How come no one sees

We´re just categories

We live and die

By rank
