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.
