Sell Out

Am           C
The year is 1991
G                    D
Seems our freedom is dead and gone
Am               C               G
The power of the rich is held by few
Am                  C
Keep the young ones paralysed,
G        D
Educated by your lies
Am                C              
Keep the old ones happy with the 
G
news
Am                     C
Tell the singer not to sing this 
song
G                  D
Tell the poet that she?s wrong
Am                  C            
In the court you?ll win the case 
     G
with lies
Coz you sold them down the river

Chorus
Am                C
Do I belong to an ancient race
G                 D
I like to walk in ancient places
Am                    C    
These are things that I can?t 
        G
understand
Am                   C
I do believe in your modern ways
G                    D
Don?t care about the things you say
     Am            C              
Your policies have failed the test
    G
 of time
Coz you sold them down the river

Verse 2
In a land not far away
There are many prisoners coz they 
say
The colour of your skin is not the 
question
Did you rally to their side
Na you sat back and let them die
Don?t know how you get to sleep 
tonight
Tonight

Chorus

Bridge
Am                     C         
Your money market goes round and 
D
round
Am                            C    D
Pound goes up the dollar goes down
Am                            C   
Another south American forest cut 
D
down
Am                           C     D
Need your pound for your new town
Am                          C     
You get scared when the boy comes 
D
down
Am                      C     D
Can?t you tell me where it is we are
 bound
