LYRICS:
INTRO
B E B E
the rich get richer, the poor get the picture
B E G#m
the bombs never hit you when you're down so low
B E B E
some got pollution, some revolution
B E C#m A
there must be some solution but I just don't know
B E B E
the bosses want decisions, the workers need ambitions
B E G#m
there won't be no collisions when they move so slow
B E B E
nothing ever happens, nothing really matters
B E C#m A
no one ever tells me what am I to know, so what am I to know
you wouldn't read about it, read about it
D
just another incredible scene, there's no doubt about it
B E B E
hammer and sickle, the news is at a trickle
B E G#m
the commisars are fickle but the stockpile grows
B E B E
bombers keep coming, engines softly humming
B E C#m A
the stars and stripes are running for their own big show
B E B E
another little flare up, storm brewed in a teacup
B E G#m
imagine any mixup and the lot would go
nothing ever happens, nothing really matters
B E C#m A
no one ever tells me what am I to know, so what am I to know
you wouldn't read about it, read about it
D
one unjust ridiculous steal, ain't no doubt about it
you wouldn't read about it, read about it
D
just another particular deal, ain't no doubt about it
INTRO
BRIDGE
B E B E
the rich get richer, the poor get the picture
B E G#m
the bombs never hit you when you're down so low
B E B E
some got pollution, some de-evolution
B E C#m A
there must be some solution but I just don't know
B E B E
ahh-ahhh, ahh-ahhh etc...
INTRO
End.
