[Verse]
C# E A C#
My people came out of the forests and the mountains unto this un-promising land
C# E A C#
Scratched out a living in this desert valley, hard living for any man
C# E A C#
It weren't no Eden, as cold as Sweden, like Hades in the summer time
C# E A C#
We built the cities, we dug the ditches, we picked the fruit from the vine

Skip forward four generations, comes a great first world nation, but I'm living in the third
C# E A C#
Trying to make a living, playing on my SG Gibson, yending bar and sometimes selling herb
C# E A C#
We live like serfs, in this new feudal land, we pay the bills and fight the wars

I ain't no Abbey, no pinko Commie, let's start the end times right now!
