LYRICS:

INTRO

the [B]rich get [E]richer, the [B]poor get the[E] picture

the [B]bombs never[E] hit you when you're d[G#m]own so low

som[B]e got pol[E]lution, s[B]ome rev[E]olution

there [B]must be some s[E]olution but I j[C#m]ust don't know[A]

the [B]bosses want d[E]ecisions, the w[B]orkers need [E]ambitions

there w[B]on't be no [E]collisions when they m[G#m]ove so slow

[B]nothing ever[E] happens, [B]nothing really[E] matters

[B]no one ever t[E]ells me what am [C#m]I to know, so what am [A]I to know

you wouldn't read about it, read about it

[D]just another incredible scene, there's no doubt about it

[B]hammer and[E] sickle, the [B]news is at a[E] trickle

the [B]commisars a[E]re fickle but the [G#m]stockpile grows

[B]bombers keep[E] coming, e[B]ngines softl[E]y humming

the s[B]tars and stripes a[E]re running for their [C#m]own big show[A]

[B]another little[E] flare up, s[B]torm brewed in [E]a teacup

[B]imagine any[E] mixup and the [G#m]lot would go

nothing ever happens, nothing really matters

[B]no one ever[E] tells me what am [C#m]I to know, so what am [A]I to know

you wouldn't read about it, read about it

o[D]ne unjust ridiculous steal, ain't no doubt about it

you wouldn't read about it, read about it

j[D]ust another particular deal, ain't no doubt about it
