D5 – D#5-F5-D5
Like me motherf~ker you’ve been at it for too long
D5 – D#5-F5-D5
While you feed off others insecurities
D5 – D#5-F5-D5
You stand in front of me and bite the hand that feeds

*
D#5-F5-D5
Self righteousness is wearing thin

I’ll bleed but not for fellow man

Telling them its all for something real

Don’t respect the words you’re speaking
Bb
Gone too far
A
Acclaim

D5 D#5-D5
So, how does it feel to know that someone’s kid
D#5-D5 D5
in the heart of America has blood on their hands
D#5-D5
fighting to defend your rights
D#5-D5
so you can maintain the lifestyle
D5 D#5-D5
that insults his families existence
D5 D#5-D5 D5
Well, where I come from we have a special salute
D#5-D5 D5
waved high in the air to all those
D#5-F5-D5
pompous assholes who spend their days pointing fingers

D5
(F~ You!)

F5
Like the heartbeat
D5 – D#5-F5-D5
of this country when antagonized too long

I’ll be damned if you count me
D5 – D#5-F5-D5
in as part of your generous hypocrisy
D5 – D#5-F5-D5
collected and amazed
D#5 – F5 – D5
Tabloid gossip we want less real
D5 – D#5-F5-D5
(There’s no need for us to bury you)

Selfish agenda, once again
D5
(Right this way, you dug your own grave)

Ulangi Chorus

D#5-D5 D5
All the way from the east to the west
D#5-D5
We’ve got this high society
D#5-D5 D5
looking down on their very foundation
D#5-D5 D#5-D5
Constantly reminding us that our actions
D5 D#5-D5
are the cause of all their problems
D5 D#5-D5
pointing their fingers in every direction
D5 D#5-D5
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
D5 F5 D5
They never contributed a f~king thing

to the country they love to critize

Gm
Excuse the obscene
Cm
Ignore the untrue
F
Depictions we see
Bb
Try and get through
Gm – Cm
And many mistakes can hurt
Bm G
I’m not the last but I sure ain’t the first
