with nothing else to show for it belongs
Am

C
G
An d those of us who make our mark
D
G
use someone else's blood
C

Our western stain won't wash away,
D

It sits deeper through each hurricane
C
D
Em
and tidal wave war
D
G
Oh oh oh
Bm
Em
We want everything we see
D
G
and once it's gone we just want more
Atlas had those shoulders,
C
we've got Am bien and
D
G
Jamesons and Blow
To bind us in a bubble
C
and keep the newsprint nightmare
D
G
distant and remote
Am
G
C
G
But when we waken guillotines

and pitch our screaming fits
C

When the governor strikes up the band
D
G
and gags our parted lips
Am
G
When the worst case shows up dressed and dazzling,
C
D
Em
ready for the ball
Bm
Em
Boy, that bubble's bound to burst
C
D
G
and what a tragic way to fall
The tabloids tell us, hate the rat
C

Who strikes those subways closed
G
and puts you out
Forget those 50 hour tunnel weeks
C
D
Inhaling steel dust poison
G
through his mouth
C
G
Well if you don't deserve a pension
D
That makes family feel secure
G
C
If we're now so disconnected
G

G
Am
And if our constant choice
G
is skimming past
C
D
Em
The writing on the wall
D
G
Oh, oh, oh
Bm
Em
Then I'm sad to say we're lost
C
Em
C
D
G
And I'm embarrassed for us all
So most days I can't put to rest
C
D
G
The burning city smoking in my mind
And I play and pretend the principles
C
Are nothing more than act
D
G
ors running lines
C
G
And I stumble through a movie set
D
G
Where torture victims laugh
C
G
At embedded journalists
D
who juggle knives and
Am
While they entertain a mob
G
C
D
Em
D
G
of heads of state and CEOs
Bm

A staggered past anarchist extras
C

So I turn and I see Uncle Sam
C
D
G
All tied up, wardrobe ready for a shoot
So I walk right up and talk to him
C

I tell him that I'm scared

While they test the cameras out
D
and get the lighting right

While catering fills coffee cups
D

And while the stylists trim his beard
C
D
Em
and straighten those pals
G
Bm
Em
Oh -oh -oh, I ask his empires
C

G
Bm
And as my daydream ends,
Em
he stands ashamed,
C
D
a shocked and shattered shell
G
Am

But there's nev er any answer
C
D
Em
from my starving tongue to tell
D
G
Oh -o h -oh,

Em
cause the director's shouting action
C
D
G
But I'm sad it's just as well
