G F
this is the 21st century
Dm Am
splash to crash and burn
G F
but nobody’s gonna give you anything
Dm Am
for nothing in return
G F
there’s a man up in a mirrored building
Dm Am
and he just bought the world
G
would you want
F
your own kids
Dm
growing up
Am
into what’s left of this
G F
she shook her head
Dm Am
she said “can’t you see
G F
the world is you
Dm Am
the world is me .
