Well, I've been [Em]selling my soul [C]working all day
[G]Overtime hours [D]For bullshit pay
So I can [Em]sit out here And waste [C]my life away
[G]Drag back home And drown my [D]troubles away
It's a [Em]damn shame What the [C]world's gotten to For [G]people like me And [D]people like you
Wish I could [Em]just wake up And it [C]not be true But it [G]is Oh, it [D]is
Livin' in the [Em]new world [C]With an [G]old soul [D]
These [Em]rich men north of Richmond [C]Lord, knows they all Just [G]wanna have total con[D]trol
Wanna know what you [Em]think Wanna know what you [C]do
And they don't think you [G]know But I know that you [D]do
'Cause your dollar ain't [Em]shit And it's taxed to no [C]end
'Cause of rich [G]men North of Rich[D]mond
I wish po[Em]liticians Would look out for [C]miners
And not just [G]miners on an island somew[D]here
Lord, we got [Em]folks in the street Ain't got [C]nothin' to eat
And the [G]obese milkin' [D]welfare
But God if you're [Em]five foot three And you're [C]three hundred pounds
Taxes ought [G]not to pay For your [D]bags of fudge rounds
Young men are [Em]putting themselves Six [C]feet in the ground
'Cause all this [G]damn country does Is keep [D]on kicking them down
Lord, it's a [Em]damn shame What the world's [C]gotten to
For [G]people like me And [D]people like you
Wish I could [Em]just wake up And it [C]not be true But it [G]is Oh, it [D]is
