Dm DmIt's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
F CFor people like me and people like you
Dm BbWish I could just wake up and it not be true
F CBut it is, oh, it is
Dm BbLivin' in the new world
F CWith an old soul
DmThese rich men north of Richmond
Bb F CLord knows they all just wanna have total control
[Verse]
DmYeah, give me freedom or give me death
BbTo that we pledge allegiances
F CWe the people had enough it's time we aired our grievances
Dm BbAgainst these treasonous demons so raise the alarm
F CCause the pigs have fully taken over on this animal farm
DmDon't know anymore
BbThis world's gotten to cold to ignore
F CShit, is it 2023 or 1984?
Dm BbThought Police up at my door to open fire on me but I'd rather
F CDie on my feet than survive on my knees and please
Dm BbWe know how they lookin' at us from up at the top
FThe tougher they made it for us
CThe fuckin' tougher we got
Dm BbThey fuckin' keep us scared forever but fuck it, we not
FWe'll send 'em back to north of Richmond
N.C.
In some cuffs or a box, bow
[Chorus]
Dm BbIt's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
F CFor people like me and people like you
Dm BbWish I could just wake up and it not be true
F CBut it is, oh, it is
Dm BbLivin' in the new world
F CWith an old soul
DmThese rich men north of Richmond
Bb F CLord knows they all just wanna have total control
[Verse]
Dm BbBehind the politicians there's a far more sinister villain
FThat's power driven
COnly answer to money is their religion
DmThey controllin' the way that we livin'
BbKeepin' us mentally stuck in a prison
FSo that the fire they know is rebellion
CNever can spread whenever it's risen
Dm BbBut they been seein' us wakin' up and now they fuckin' afraid
F CAs we the people get to seein' through their fuckin' charade
Dm BbWe're bein' played by these elites who would rather see us enslaved
F CAs they lead us by the hand where the lands dug with a grave
Dm BbAnd they could kill our character through stories they publish
F COr they'll just murder us and brand it a suicide to the public
DmOr an accidental overdose
BbPrint the story, run it
FSay it's facts so people trust it
CAccept it and move on from it
Dm BbBut it's time to pick a side and get to strikin' a nerve
F CAnd anyway we're able I'm fightin' this fight with my words
Dm BbAnd if they keep pushin' then fuck it, we incitin' the purge
F CAnd just to think all we wanted was the rights we deserve
[Chorus]
Dm BbIt's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
F CFor people like me and people like you
Dm BbWish I could just wake up and it not be true
F CBut it is, oh, it is
Dm BbLivin' in the new world
F CWith an old soul
DmThese rich men north of Richmond
Bb F CLord knows they all just wanna have total control
Dm BbWanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
F CAnd they don't think you know, but I know that you do
Dm BbCause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
F CCause of rich men north of Richmond
