Verse 1:
Dm                     G#
  And we're at it again 
Dm
  I turn around another 
        F#     Dm
f**king war man  I don't
know where to begin but 
      G#            Dm
I'll start with the radical leaders 
                  F#
Their steps we're following
Dm      G#       Dm
Running don't go back and 
     F# Dm         G#     Dm  F#
fight     too many you'll lose 
(And as clowns you follow 
suit behind the blood 
Between the red 
and white and blue 
But it's too deep 
for you to see 
And everyone eventually 
will take the step 
Cause it's in sight you take 
the left I'll take the right 
I feel the hate you've built for 
me and I say pay attention baby) 


Chorus 1:
Dm
As they thank the Lord
                Bb C
the blind can't see 
       Dm
Like a plague fed to 
                   Bb   C
the brain deadly disease 


Interlude: Dm--C/E--F--Bb--Dm--C/E--Am--Bb


Verse 2:
Dm                   G# Dm
  But it wasn't a sin     a sorry
                    F#
life judging every action 
Dm
  And as they're feeding 
                    G#
your mind with this sh*t
       Dm
You forget how to speak
                   F#
how to ask all the questions 
    Dm       G# Dm          F#
The business at hand tonight
Dm          G#  Dm    F#
make the people choose 
(I see another side in you but 
there's not much more I can do 
in your government is listening 
To push you on the story of 
immortal father mortal son 
Give them your mind and all your 
wealth the cycle will rebirth itself) 
        Dm
If they had it their
                G#
way I'd burn in hell
         Dm
And your future's a f**king
         F#
disaster can't you see? 
Dm                      G#
Give them all the power and your 
Dm                            F#
future's in desperate trouble baby 


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
Dm  C/E  F     Bb            A
I'd run away tonight with my mind 
still intact you gotta make it alright
Dm C/E F         Bb           A
Easier said than done with no place
to hide and having no place to
Dm       Bb          A        A/C#
Running away from condition I see 
               Dm       Bb
you but you're running away from
      A               A/C#
Your scared seductive system

Bridge:
Dm
  Most would claim I live
  Bb
a lie (I live a lie)
     Gm
When pointing out 
     F          C/E
it's easy to predict
these things 
(Predict these things)
Dm
  Every color has its 
Bb
side (I have my side)
     Gm            F
They live together vote and most 
  C/E
embrace these same dark times
Dm
  Please help us
Bb
  please save us
   Gm
Of course they have 
   F                  C/E
control we're all the same 
Dm          Bb    Gm              F
  Up on the cross crucified their problem 
          C
drove the nail and let Him rot 
Dm           Bb      Gm
  Family and friends it won't matter 
F              C/E
in the end I'm sure they'll understand 


Verse 3:
Dm
Now look at the world and 
F   D/F#           Gm
see how the humans bleed 
     Bb
As I sit up here and wonder about 
Bbm
how you sold your mind body and 
F   Am Dm
soul   Looking at the fields so 
F       D/F#               Gm
green I know this sounds obscene 
             Bb
I see you're living for tomorrow but 
  Bbm                                  F    Am
decisions you have made will leave you empty

to hide and having no place to--- run(Growl)

How it ends I'll never know 
                               Dm A/C#
Just live your life blind like me 


Dm-- x8
