INTRO: (7 beats/bar)

(It's pretty hard to play this way, so I suggest ignoring the notes
on the B-string)

LYRICS:
INTRO
the [B]rich get [E]richer, the [B]poor get the[E] picture
the [B]bombs never[E] hit you when you're d[G#m]own so low
som[B]e got pol[E]lution, s[B]ome rev[E]olution
there [B]must be some s[E]olution but I j[C#m]ust don't know[A]
the [B]bosses want d[E]ecisions, the w[B]orkers need [E]ambitions
there w[B]on't be no [E]collisions when they m[G#m]ove so slow
[B]nothing ever[E] happens, [B]nothing really[E] matters
[B]no one ever t[E]ells me what am [C#m]I to know, so what am [A]I to know
you wouldn't read about it, read about it
[D]just another incredible scene, there's no doubt about it
[B]hammer and[E] sickle, the [B]news is at a[E] trickle
the [B]commisars a[E]re fickle but the [G#m]stockpile grows
[B]bombers keep[E] coming, e[B]ngines softl[E]y humming
the s[B]tars and stripes a[E]re running for their [C#m]own big show[A]
[B]another little[E] flare up, s[B]torm brewed in [E]a teacup
[B]imagine any[E] mixup and the [G#m]lot would go
nothing ever happens, nothing really matters
[B]no one ever[E] tells me what am [C#m]I to know, so what am [A]I to know
you wouldn't read about it, read about it
o[D]ne unjust ridiculous steal, ain't no doubt about it
you wouldn't read about it, read about it
j[D]ust another particular deal, ain't no doubt about it
INTRO
