G Em7 Cadd9 G
one simple word an you cut ’em down .
G Em7 D
severing life line with shame ,
G Em7 Cadd9 G
speak to the masses and make ’em smile .
G Em7 D
donning a halo you’ve made ,
G Em7 Cadd9 G
but the wind won’t carry you far this time .
G Em7 D
the truth is you’ve lost your own wings .
G Em7 Cadd9 G
traded them in for mere shiny things ,
G Em7 D
while lining your pockets as well .

C G D Em
oh and as the bow breaks , on come the stones .
C G D G
to force your head down , as they are thrown .
C G D Em
just as there’s lies , truth will be told .
C G D G
mind the forked tongue or wake up missing one .

G Em C G

G Em7 Cadd9 G
to hell with political campaign charades .
G Em7 D
i’d rather dig a hole in the earth
G Em7 Cadd9 G
than to listen to a coward from a tailored world .
G Em7 D
who’d be hard – pressed to carry their own worth .
G Em7 Cadd9 G
instead leave the death and the work to those
G Em7 D
who suffer for freedom and food .
G Em7 Cadd9 G
fighting for family and home at hand ,
G Em7 D
and dying for nothing for you .

C G D Em
oh and as the bow breaks , on come the stones .
C G D G
to force your head down , as they are thrown .
C G D Em
just as there’s lies , truth will be told .
C G D G
mind the forked tongue or wake up missing one .
