Dm                              Gm
It’s been that way since the git go,

It’s been that way since the git go
Dm                                    Gm
Well, it’s been that way since the git go,
                 A          Dm
Lord it’s always been that way

Dm                              A                   Dm
Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite
Dm                                             A
Anything that good, God knows, just had to be right
Dm
Well they woke up naked with a big headache,
Gm
He been done in by a slippery snake,
Dm                        A                         Dm
a man and a woman get to live a while and then they die

Continues after the ad
Dm                                                 A
They keep printin’ money ‘till they get in way too deep
Dm
It’s the same old lesson, they never learn,
Gm
They’re too busy workin’ on their next term
Dm                       A                   Dm
Politicians keep makin’ fools out of you and me

Money breeds war, as long as there’s a man alive
Dm                                           A
Rich kids go to college, and the poor kids fight
Dm                               Gm
High-rollers crap out every time, roll a soldier’s bones like loaded dice

The son of God who created you and I
Dm

Jesus Christ hung on the cross for you and I
