Cmaj7 Am Em | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / /D / / | ( I've seen ) [Verse 1]Cmaj7 Am I've seen enough of itEm The sides are all cementedD Their incentives look the sameCmaj7 Am Are they vetted in the same ways?Em As the little guy puts blood and tearsD Into pushing deadweight on theCmaj7 capital stepsAm Em Bleeding out for a caricature of a '50s salesmanD Cmaj7 Hare checklist, tickin' every boxD Dead for what? [Chorus]Cmaj7 Am Standing on the side, I never was the silent typeEm All the endless grey conundrumsD that are painted black and whiteContinues after the adCmaj7 I heard a hundred million voicesAm sound the same both left and rightEm D We're still a long way offCmaj7 D We're still a long way off [Verse 2]Cmaj7 Am Some get along with itEm They drag around from town to townD With a pretty lie that hoodwinked manyCmaj7 Am of my loved onesEm And I owe it to my folksD for giving me an understandingCmaj7 Am of a world that shot my people downEm The hungry and divided playD into the hands of the man who putCmaj7 them thereD So it goes [Chorus]Cmaj7 Am Standing on the side, I never was the silent typeEm All the endless grey conundrumsD that are painted black and whiteCmaj7 I heard a hundred million voicesAm sound the same both left and rightEm D We're still a long way offCmaj7 Am Em D We're still a long way offCmaj7 Am Em D We're still a long way off [Chorus]Cmaj7 Am Standing on the side, I never was the silent typeEm All the endless grey conundrumsD that are painted black and whiteCmaj7 I heard a hundred million voicesAm sound the same both left and rightEm D We're still a long way offCmaj7 Am Em D We're still a long way offCmaj7 Am Em D We're still a long way off
