Em
My sister can’t afford a house
C
And she thinks it’s her fault
Em
She says if she worked harder
C
She’d have money in the vault
 
Am
And my mother needs a surgery
D
Her hand’s always in pain
Am
But she fell ill last April
D
And used up all her sick days
 
Em C Em C
 
Em
They say, the homeless need to disappear
C
Extract them like a tumor
Em
A stain on our society
C
They’re all broken consumers
Am
Don’t try to put the blame on us
D
They ruined their own lives
Am
It’s not our fault they got hooked
D
On drugs that we prescribed

Stripes if you take a stand
Em
Stars if you march in time

Stripes if you don’t fall in line

Em
We send our babies off to school
C
Our children are the future
Em
Then teach them how to hide
C
Beneath their desks for active shooters
Am
Oh we could make a difference
D
If we weren’t so fucking tired
Am
But who’s got time to fight
D
When you’re just trying to survive

Begging for a quarter

Lost his legs on your orders
