Inside Job

Em             C#m7b5   C7
While you were sleeping they came 
and took it all away
Em                C#m7b5   C7
The lanes and the meadows, the 
places where you used to play

E                  Em C#m
It was an inside job  by the 
well-connected
C7
Your little protest summarily 
rejected
E                  Em  C#m
It was an inside job like it always 
is
C7
Chalk it up to business as usual

While we are dreaming this little 
island disappears

While you are looking the other way 
they'll take your right to own your 
own ideas

And it's an inside job, favors 
collected
Your trusted servants have left you 
unprotected
It was an inside job like it always 
is
Just chalk it up to business as 
usual

A7                                 
You think that you're so smart but 
F#7
you don't have a fucking clue
A7                              
What those men up in the towers are 
F#7
doing to me and you
                 A7
And they'll keep doin' it and doin' 
it
     F#7
And doin' it and doin' it And doin' 
it and doin' it and doin' it
         A7                        
Until we all wake up wake up, wake 
    C6            Em
up, wake up, wake up

I know what I've done wrong I am 
acquainted with the night
I know how hard it is to always walk
 out in the light
And it's an inside job to learn 
about forgiving
It's an inside job to hang on to the
 joy of living

They know the road by which you 
came, they know your mother's maiden
 name
And what you had for breakfast and 
what you've hidden in the mattress
Insect politics, indifferent 
universe
Bang your head against the wall but 
apathy is worse
It's an inside job, It's an inside 
job
It's an inside job  Yeh, yeah
