These bastards stole their power         from the victims of the
  Em7               D5                  D7 (no 3rd)      G/D

The undermining social         democratic downhill slide into      abysmal
D5                    D7 (no 3rd)      G/D                  Em7
lost lamb off the precipice      into     the trickle down runoff pool.

Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,
                   F
heartless, and labeled.  Super U.S. citizen, super achiever,

mega ultra power dosing.  Relax.

How to be what you        can be, jump jam junking your energies.
D5             D7 (no 3rd)      G/D              Em7
How to walk in dignity    with throw-up on your shoes.
     C              D      C                D
They amplified the autumn, nineteen seventy-nine.

Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass.
      G                                   F
T.V. tells a million lies.  The papers terrified to report
anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon,

   If they weren't there we would have created them.  Maybe, it's true,
    Bb                           A
but I'm resentful all the same.  Someone's got to take the blame.
  D5                D7 (no 3rd)  G/D         Em7
I know that this is vitriol.    No solution,    spleen-venting,
     D5             D7 (no 3rd)                 G/D      Em7
But I   feel better having     screamed; don't you?
