G
[Verse 1]
GWell they scooped up my neighbor
GI said, “See ya later
D7You gotta come here the right way!”
D7The man who worked the door at the grocery store
GWas a criminal, so they say
G G7The girl who cooked my food, she was real bad news
C CmShe was an enemy of the state
C D7They went door to door, catching more and more
C Cm GReally cleaning up the place
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 2]
GWell, when they were all gone
Gand I was all on my own
D7I thought I'd Go where the billionaires meet
D7I strolled by the soldiers who were just taking orders
GShooting protestors down in the street
G G7Past a gold-plated door, I saw the masters of war
C CmSmokin' fat cigars in the round
C D7With my chin cocked high, I strolled and swaggered inside
C Cm GFound me a seat and sat down
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 3]
GI said, “Well done, men
GNow that we got rid of them
D7We're all playing for the same team”
D7They looked 'round at first, then into laughter they burst
Gcnd the fattest cat pointed to me
G G7“It's a riot you think that you can sit in that seat
C CmYou can't really believe you belong
C D7Sure, we got them first, but I think white trash is worse
C Cm GSo Go on back to where you came from”
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 4]
GI returned to my home, with its 30-year loan
D7and the neighborhood's silence was stark
D7I cooked my food in my solitude
Gand ate all alone in the dark
G G7I was nervous and worried, but my News, it assured me
C CmWe're all safer now than before
C D7I was cleaning my plate, and as the clock struck eight
C Cm GI heard a loud knock-knock at the door
[Interlude]
G
[Verse 5]
GSo if you think that it's true that they won't come for you
D7You're either wrong or not saying enough
D7all the presidents' men love playing pretend
Gand actin' so goddamn tough
G G7We got more alike with any hard-working type
C CmThan any fascist-loving bureaucrat
C D7So love thy neighbor with or without papers
C Cm GBecause our future's depending on that
