Great Imperialist State Simone White
Verse 1:
[Bm]There's a farmer in a [D]distant country working on the [Bm]land
A hat upon his [D]head and a shovel in his [Bm]hand
Till the soil [F#]plant the seed wait a while [G]cut the leaf
And send another cup of tea to [Bm]me
Verse 2:
[Bm]I'm a spoiled child [D]of the great imperialist [Bm]state
I cannot kill my [D]meat nor grow the food upon my [Bm]plate
I never walked a mile [F#]to the well, when the tap runs [G]dry to tell
What will become of you and [Bm]me
Chorus:
[C#]What will become of us, [Bm]who will give us trust
[Em]Will you believe me when I [Bm]say I never loved [F#]profiting from your [G]pain
That I felt shame when I [F#]looked the other way
Verse 3:
[Bm]Woke up this morning, the revo[D]lution knocking down my [Bm]door
Those capitalist [D]pigs? No, they don't live here any[Bm]more
Slipped out the back door [F#]into my car how far can you drive how far
Verse 4:
[Bm]There's a farmer in a [D]distant country working on the [Bm]land
Food turned into fl[D]owers for the uptown florist [Bm]stand
What you saved another [F#]paid to turn his soil [G]into sand
The world will not deliver on de[Bm]mand
Chorus:
[C#]What will become of us, [Bm]who will give us trust
[Em]Will you believe me when I [Bm]say I never loved [F#]profiting from your [G]pain
That I felt shame when I [F#]looked the other way
