G                        C
Sometimes I stare at the night sky
G                                 
See them stars a billion light 
    D
years away
       Em                         
And it makes me feel small like a 
C
bug on a wall
G                  D
Who gives a shit anyway?
               Em                C
Who gives a shit anyway?

   G                 C
When World War II was over
G                         D
Though the slate was never wiped 
clean
       Em                     
We could have picked over them 
    C
broken bones
 G                     D
   We could have been free
        Em                  C
But we chose to adhere to abundance

We chose the American Dream
    Em D         C
And oh mistress liberty
D          G      Em
How we abandoned thee
     C      Em   D
How we abandoned thee
   Em D         C
And oh Mistress Liberty
D          Em     G
How we abandoned thee

G                        C
Could have been born in Shreveport
     G                     D

  Em                  C
It don't much matter wherever you're
 born
       G                 D
Little babies mean us no harm
      Em                    C
They have to be taught to despise us
     Em                      D
To bulldoze our homes to the ground
    Em           D          
To believe their fight is for 
  C
liberty
    D                              
To believe their God will keep them
          Em
 safe and sound
Em        C
Safe and sound
Em             D
      Safe and sound

We cannot turn back the clock
G                  D
Cannot go back in time
       Em
But we can say "fuck you"
         C               D
We will not listen to
                  Em
Your bullshit and lies
