A Em G D
[Verse 1]
A
We can't sanitize our history
Em
Just because it's not what we want it to be
G
England was built on sorrow and pain
D
Slavery and ill-gotten gain
[Verse 2]
A
We gotta look around and recognize
Em
Who we are now, how far we've come
G
Recognize those who deserve it
D
And live with those who don't
[Verse 3]
A
So wash your hands and sing happy birthday
Em
Hand gel won't sanitize your sins
G
So much we enjoy are built on broken backs
D
We can't turn away and paper over the cracks
[Chorus]
A
Before you get deluded
Em
Read the small print of life
G
Happiness not included
D
Happiness not included
[Interlude]
D A Em G D
[Verse 4]
A
No one's gonna save us, I've come to set us free
Em
When they're piling up their bodies and they're pointing at me
G
And you told me last night that I didn't have to fear
D
That if that is the case, just what the fuck we're doing here
[Verse 5]
A
Staring at the dark, taking stock of our lives
Em
Troopers stealing control, even sharpening our knives
G
Getting up and ready when it all comes down
D
Get ready to duck so hit the ground
[Bridge]
A
Look around now
Em
Look around now
G
Look around now
D
Look around now
[Verse 5]
A
Everything and it's seen as offensive
Em
That's why we're always on the defensive
G
Our social media makes us slaves, like
D
Children we have to be told to behave
[Verse 6]
A
We only see in black and white
Em
Retching up the drama for the thrill of the fight
G
And we kill, kill, kill in the rush of the game
D
Shooting all the soldiers again and again
[Chorus]
A
Before you get deluded
Em
Read the small print of life (look around now)
G
Happiness not included (look around now)
D
Happiness not included (look around now)
[Verse 7]
A
Times are moved in shifting sands
Em
The future's in another lunatic's hands
G
It's turning on my TV again
D
They're watching all the people in pain
[Verse 8]
A
News is like crack cocaine
Em
Everybody getting high again and again
G
I don't wanna know about the politician talks
D
I don't even know just how the magic works
[Bridge]
A
Look around now
Em
Look around now
G
Look around now
D
Look around now
[Verse 9]
A
So put your grief in a tweet with the crying emoji
Em
And so many words with nothing to say
G
And don't look at me you Hollywood whores
D
When you're back there sweeping the restaurant floors
[Chorus]
A
Before you get deluded
Em
Read the small print of life
G
Happiness not included
D
Happiness not included
A
Before you get deluded
Em
Read the small print of life
G
Happiness not included
D
Happiness not included
A
Look around
