[Verse 1]
G
My friends live in a bad part of 
town
         D
And even when I go to see them, it 
always brings me down
G
There's bars across their windows, 
iron gates upon their door
        D
And the whole neighborhood looks 
like the middle of a war

[Pre-Chorus]
   C
We crawl through the back streets in
 the dead of night
G
Windows rolled up and the door's 
locked tight
C
Creep up the alley, trying not to 
make a sound
D
Always looking 'round for what might
 be coming down

[Verse 2]
            G
You know we haven't got a nickel, no
 we haven't got a dime
      D
Can't even get on welfare 'cause we 
haven't got the time
      G
To be pushed and pulled through 
those bureaucratic slots
             D
And have our lives filed away in 
some plastic box

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I don't know why it is
     G
That people have to live like this
C
Gotta get out before it's too late
D
Gotta get out, whatever it takes

[Chorus]

            G
'Cause were living behind bars
       C      D
And we got no choice
G
Living behind bars
       C      D
And we got no voice
G
Living behind bars
       C      D    G
And we got to get away
C G

[Verse 3]
       G
On the other side of town, there's a
 great big wall
          D
Where the rich man lives, he's 
afraid of it all
     G
He's worried about the people he 
might happen to meet
      D
If he ever sets foot out on the 
street

[Pre-Chorus]
        C
And the red lights flash and the 
sirens howl
        G
And the burglar alarms ring and the 
guard dogs growl
C
Old lady fishing through a garbage 
can
    D
But I still can't seem to understand

[Chorus]
          G
Why we're living behind bars
         C       D
And it's time to move
G
Living behind bars
             C      D
What have we got to lose?
G
Living behind bars
       C      D    G
And we got to get away
C G

G
Living behind bars
              C      D
It seems like we got missed
G
Living behind bars
           C       D
How did it come to this?
G
Living behind bars
       C      D    G   C G
And we got to get away
G
Living behind bars
      C         D
Every night and day
G
Living behind bars
         C       D
Can't go on this way
G
Living behind bars
       C      D    G
And we got to get away
