Intro
Eb F
[Verse 1]
Gm Cm Gm* A*
You’ve got no vision for the long run
F Eb Bb* C*
You’ve got no sense of history
Gm Cm Gm* A*
You’ve got the world at your fingertips
F Eb A*
And now you have it crumblin'
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cm F
But if you look back far enough
A# Eb
And find the place you started
Cm F
Before you held a grudge
A# G
Or the highest office
Cm F
You do nothing every year
A# Eb
But you're showin' up on the red carpet...
[Chorus]

I said “Give it to me straight!” - (Things are crooked)

You ain’t no robin hood -(No)

Never been in this neighbourhood -(No)

Thought you said this would be easy

But I can smell it on ya

You’re some aristocrat

How the history books will react

[Verse 3]
Gm
Now here’s the official statement:
Gm/F
We’re street fighting on the pavement
Gm/Eb
I’m going dancing like I’m raving
Gm/D
There’s no service in the basement
Gm/C
Now I don’t mean to sound impatient
Gm/A#
But I’ve seen the flag you’re waving
Gm/A
And I can see through all this fake shit
Gm/D
This highest office’s sitting vacant
[Pre-Chorus 3]
CM F
But if you look back far enough
A# Eb
And find the place you started
Cm F
I promise you no charlatan
A# G
Has ever died a martyr
Cm F
You do nothing every year
A# Eb
But showing up on the red carpet
[Chorus]
