Em C
I've been selling my soul, working all day
G D
Overtime hours, for bullshit pay
Em C
So I can sit out here, and waste my life away
G D
Drag back home, and drown my troubles away
Pre-Chorus
Em C
It's a damn shame, what the world's gotten to
G D
For people like me, and people like you
Em C
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true
G D
But it is, aw it is
Em C G D
Livin' in the new world, with an old soul
Em C
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
G D
Just wanna have total control
Em C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
G D
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
Em C
'Cause your dollar ain't shit, and it's taxed to no end
G D
'Cause of rich men, north of Richmond
( Em C G D )
Em C
I wish politicians would look out for miners
G D
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Em C
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
G D
And the obese, milkin' welfare
Em C
But God, if you're five foot three and you're three hundred pounds
G D
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Em C
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
G D
'Cause all this damn country does, is keep on kickin' them down
Pre-Chorus
Em C
Lord, it's a damn shame, what the world's gotten to
G D
For people like me, and people like you
Em C
Wish I could just wake up, and it not be true
G D
But it is, aw it is
Em C G D
Livin' in the new world, with an old soul
Em C
These rich men north of Richmond, Lord knows they all
G D
Just wanna have total control
Em C
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
G D
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
Em C
'Cause your dollar ain't shit, and it's taxed to no end
G D
'Cause of rich men, north of Richmond
