Bm                                A
We're way behind we're living on the edge of time
             G            A              Bm
We must get rich becoming poor became a crime
      Bm                                A
Many promises where made but in the end
             G              A              Bm
The first to die has always been the working man


         Bm                                           A
They tell our kids in school it's like that don't ask why
             G            A              Bm
We gotta work until we're old enough to die
           Bm                                     A
The more we learn, the more we still don't understand
             G              A              Bm
The first to die has always been the working man

[Chorus]
D                         A
We're the first to fight, we're the first to die
          E                            Bm
And the last to find the bloody reason why
D                         A
Again and again since I don't know when
          G            A                Bm
The first to die has always been the working man

 [Strophe]
         Bm                                  A
To keep your job you have to do the best you can
          G            A              Bm
Building houses for unhandy business men
          Bm                               A
And when you're all used up nobody gives a damn
             G              A                Bm
The first to die has always been the working man


[Chorus]
D                         A
We're the first to fight, we're the first to die
          E                            Bm
And the last to find the bloody reason why
D                         A
Again and again since I don't know when
          G            A                Bm
The first to die has always been the working man

D                         A
We're the first to fight, we're the first to die
          E                            Bm
And the last to find the bloody reason why
D                         A
Again and again since I don't know when
          G            A                Bm
The first to die has always been the working man

[Chorus]
D                         A
We're the first to fight, we're the first to die
          E                            Bm
And the last to find the bloody reason why
D                         A
Again and again since I don't know when
          G            A                Bm
The first to die has always been the working man
