[Verse]
A# C# F# A#
My people came out of the forests and the mountains unto this un-promising land
A# C# F# A#
Scratched out a living in this desert valley, hard living for any man
A# C# F# A#
It weren't no Eden, as cold as Sweden, like Hades in the summer time
A# C# F# A#
We built the cities, we dug the ditches, we picked the fruit from the vine
[Chorus]
F# C# G# C# A# C# F#
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
F# C# G# C# A# C# F#
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
F# C# G# C# A#
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
C# F#
You know what time it is?
F# C# G# C# A#
Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?
[Verse]
A# C# F# A#
Skip forward four generations, comes a great first world nation, but I'm living in the third
A# C# F# A#
Trying to make a living, playing on my SG Gibson, yending bar and sometimes selling herb
A# C# F# A#
We live like serfs, in this new feudal land, we pay the bills and fight the wars
A# C# F# A#
I ain't no Abbey, no pinko Commie, let's start the end times right now!
[Chorus]
F# C# G# C# A# C# F#

Hey, Bret! You know what time it is?

You know what time it is, You know what time it is, you know what time it is
F# C# G# C# A# C# F#
You know what time it is, You know what time it is, you know what time it is
F# C# G# C# A# C# F#
You know what time it is, You know what time it is, you know what time it is
F# C# G# C# A# C# F#
You know what time it is, You know what time it is, you know what time it is
