Capo on 4th.
[Am]I want to pledge alleg[E]iance to the cou[F]ntry where I live
[Am]I don't want to be ash[E]amed to be Ameri[F]can
[Am]but opportunity
[E]no it don't exist
[F]it's the opiate
[C]of the populace
[Am]we need some harder shit now
[E]the truth's getting around
[F]and each public school is a halfway house
[E]where the huddled masses sober up and up
[C]enough? There's not enough[F]
to fa[E]tten the cows and fe[Am]ed all of u[G]s.
It's ju[F]st a rat[G]ioning of luck
[E]what can't be bought gets raffled off.
[C]oh god good god shed gr[F]eed on thee,
your shinin[E]g sea turned a dir[Am]ty g[G]reen
[F]from the industry
[G]off the shores of New Jersey
(Chords same as above)
I got a letter from the army so I think that I'll enlist
I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something
too bad that nowadays you just point and click
swing low satellite, hot white chariot
in the computer's blue glare
the bombs burst in the air
there was a city once now nothing's there
our freedom comes at their expense
it makes sense does it?
Dollars and cents
they're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence
that's surrounding your housing development
in case you lack the confidence
oh god my god give strength to thee
these amber waves purple majesty is nothing but
backdrops for Disney
look up c[C]lose it's s[Dm]uperimposed
[Am]on a blank blue screen yea its fantasy
[G]fucking magical
the dream fl[C]oats like a [Dm]chemical
[Am]through each snapped synapse
our television past that is [G]beautiful
[C]no more
[Dm]no more
