How The World Works

[Intro ]
Dm         G7 
Hey, kids 
                         C             Gdim7  A7 
Today, we're gonna learn about the world 



[Verso 1]
 
Dm               G7 
The world that's around us 
          C 
Is pretty amazing 
                Gdim7 
But how does it work? 
 A7                Dm 
It must be complicated 
Dm                G7              C 
The secret is the world can only work 
                C       Gdim7  A7 
When everything works together 
 


[Verso 2]
 
  Dm                G7 
A bee drinks from a flower 
                    C 
And leaves with its pollen 
                Gdim7 
A squirrel in a tree 
 A7                         Dm 
Spreads the seeds that have fallen 
           G7 
Everything works together 
C           Gdim7          Dm       G7 
The biggest elephant, the littlest fly 
C           Gdim7            Dm    G7      E7 
The gophers underground, the birds in the sky 
Am         Ammaj7          Am7 
And every single cricket, every fish in the sea 
F                       D              G7 
Gives what they can and gets what they need 
 


[Refrão]
 
C               Gdim7  A7 
That is how the world works 
F               D     G7 
That is how the world works 
C 
From A to Zebra 
       E7           Am 
To the worms in the dirt 
F      G7sus4 
That's how it works

[Verso 3]
 
Dm                   G7                       C 
The simple narrative taught in every history class 
      Gdim7  A7                             Dm 
Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist 
                   G7                   C 
Don't you know the world is built with blood? 
             C          Gdim7  A7 
And genocide and exploitation 
Dm                    G7                     C 
The global network of capital essentially functions 
                 C              Gdim7 A7 Dm 
To separate the worker from the means of production 
          G7                      C 
And the FBI killed Martin Luther King 
C       Gdim7 A7       Dm         G7 
Private property's inherently theft 
    C          Gdim7 A7         Dm             G7 
And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left 
E7  Am         Ammaj7          Am7 
And every politician, every cop on the street 
             F                D                    G7 
Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite 
 


[Refrão]
 
C               Gdim7  A7 
That is how the world works 
F               D     G7 
That is how the world works 
C                             E7        Am 
Genocide, the Natives say you got to it first 
F      G7sus4 
That's how it works
