=====================================================
[Intro]
[tab]C Am G C
Living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab] G C
We got preachers dealin' in politics and diamond mines[/tab]
[tab] G C
And their speech is growing increasingly unkind[/tab]
[tab]Am
They say they are Christ's disciples[/tab]
[tab] F
But they don't look like Jesus to me[/tab]
[tab] C G C
And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab] G C
We got politicians runnin' races on corporate cash[/tab]
[tab] G C
Now don't tell me they don't turn around and kiss them people's ass[/tab]
[tab]Am
Now you may call me old-fashioned[/tab]
[tab] F
But that don't fit my picture of a true democracy[/tab]
[tab] C G C
And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab] G C
We got C E O's makin' two hundred times the workers pay[/tab]
[tab] G C
But they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage[/tab]
[tab]Am
And if you don't like it mister[/tab]
[tab] F
They'll ship your job to some third world country 'cross the sea[/tab]
[tab] C G C
And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[Chorus]
[tab]F G C
Living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab]E Am
Where the poor have now become the enemy[/tab]
[tab]F C
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones[/tab]
[tab]E Am F
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy[/tab]
[tab] G C
Living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab] G C
We got little kids with guns fighting inner-city wars[/tab]
[tab] G C
So, what do we do, we put these little kids behind prison doors[/tab]
[tab]Am
And we call ourselves the advanced civilisation[/tab]
[tab]F
But that sounds like crap to me[/tab]
[tab] C G C
And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab] G C
We got high school kids runnin' 'round in Calvin Klein and Guess[/tab]
[tab] G C
Who cannot pass a sixth grade reading test[/tab]
[tab]Am
But if you ask them, they can tell you[/tab]
[tab]F
The name of every crotch on MTV[/tab]
[tab] C G C
And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab] G C
We kill for oil then throw a party when we win[/tab]
[tab] G C
Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin[/tab]
[tab]Am
But he's standin' up for what he believes in[/tab]
[tab]F
And that seems pretty damned American to me[/tab]
[tab] C G C
And it feels like I am living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[Chorus]
[tab]F G C
Living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab]E Am
Where the poor have now become the enemy[/tab]
[tab]F C
Let's blame our troubles on the weak ones[/tab]
[tab]E Am F
Sounds like some kind of Hitler remedy[/tab]
[tab] G C
Living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab]F C
Whilst we sit gloating in our greatness[/tab]
[tab]E Am
Justice is sinking to the bottom of the sea[/tab]
[tab]F G C
Living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab]F G C
Living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
[tab]F G C
Living in the wasteland of the free[/tab]
