Oh how [G] lucky are we to be living in the future?
Where the [Em] land is all claimed and
The weapons are nuclear
If [Am] you got pain there?s a pill you can take
Oh but [C] wait -
That depends on how much [D] money you make
They [G] created problems to prove they could solve them
But the [Em] fix is never free and we've inflated the dollar
It?s a [Am] surefire method, a financial weapon
And with [C] these ten steps I can [D] get you to heaven
{eoc}
It's not [G] fair but you gotta play nice
They don't [Em] care what you do for a dime
I would [Am] like someone to blame
But it?s a [D] system we?ve created
Values [G] profit over product
And you'll [Em] know you?ve finally made it
When you're [Am] questioning your ethics
Tryna [D] justify the methods
[G] Walking through the world
With the [Em] privilege of Protection
[Am] Forgettin? all that matters
As you're [G] climbin? up the latter
Watch them [C] terrorize the children and
De-[Am]tain the [Em] mothers
[G] It's not fair I don't wanna play nice
They don?t [Em] care ?bout the cost of a life
Oh and [Am] though we claim United
Never [D] been more divided
[G] Facts are like fiction
[Em] Believe what you find
[Am] Believe in a dream
That we've never achieved
It?s a [G] lie
{soc}
So how [G] lucky are we
To be living in the [Em] future
Where you don't have to learn
To write cursive or research
[Am] Built a machine so you don?t have to think
And [C] oh, imagine all the [D] money it'll bring
When we [G] lay off the workers
Release all the cogs
The [Em] system we had
Well it may have been flawed
The [Am] people got paychecks and pensions and pride
[C] Now they?re the rejects
In [D] times of A-[Em]I
{eoc}
[Em] Do you hear the people fighting?
Well a fight's just what they want
Cause if [Am] we would stand united
Then we'd see all that they?ve done
Do you [Em] hear your neighbors crying?
Do you see the sky above?
Oh this [Am] world, it once was wild
Now it?s paved and painted up
[Em] Do you care about children dying?
Overseas they're being bombed
In A-[D]merica they?re [Em] hiding
As the [Am] schools they get shot up
[Em] WE THE PEOPLE
It's a sequel
Oh the war was never won
And if [D] men are all made equal
[Em] Why do some still rise a-[C]bove?
{soc}
Oh how [Em] lucky are we?
To be living in the future
Where the [Am] land is all claimed
And the weapons are nuclear
If [B7] you got pain
There?s a pill you can take
It'll [Em] throw you on the cycle where the money is made
We create your problems then we solve them
But the [Am] fix ain?t free
So give me those dollars
It's a [B7] surefire method
A financial weapon
Won't you [Em] put a good word in
If you make it to Heaven?
{eoc}
