G         Em7         Cadd9        G 
One simple word an you cut 'em down. 
G        Em7            D  
Severing life line with shame, 
G            Em7        Cadd9        G 
speak to the masses and make 'em smile. 
G         Em7         D  
Donning a halo you've made, 
G                  Em7       Cadd9        G 
but the wind won't carry you far this time. 
G                   Em7               D  
The truth is you've lost your own wings. 
G            Em7        Cadd9        G 
Traded them in for mere shiny things, 
G                 Em7         D  
while lining your pockets as well. 

       C          G       D           Em 
Oh and as the bow breaks, on come the stones. 
   C          G          D           G 
To force your head down, as they are thrown. 
C               G     D           Em 
Just as there's lies, truth will be told. 
C               G              D          G 
Mind the forked tongue or wake up missing one.

G            Em7       Cadd9           G 
To hell with political campaign charades. 
G                Em7              D  
I'd rather dig a hole in the earth 
        G           Em7           Cadd9          G 
than to listen to a coward from a tailored world. 
         G               Em7             D  
Who'd be hard-pressed to carry their own worth. 
G                 Em7           Cadd9        G 
Instead leave the death and the work to those 
    G          Em7         D  
who suffer for freedom and food. 
G            Em7        Cadd9   G 
Fighting for family and home at hand, 
    G         Em7         D  
and dying for nothing for you. 

       C          G       D           Em 
Oh and as the bow breaks, on come the stones. 
   C          G          D           G 
To force your head down, as they are thrown. 
C               G     D           Em 
Just as there's lies, truth will be told. 
C               G              D          G 
Mind the forked tongue or wake up missing one.
