[verse 1]



            E                      G

So tell me family now what do you think? 



                C                    A

Watch it all go down the great big sink,



               E                   G

watch how the scum it rises to the top.



            C                         A

Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop? 

 

           E                 G

Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep,

 

              C                  A

 serving the dodgy companies we keep.



                   E                           G

All kicking and scrounging for the very first place 



                C                A

- dictionary defintion of a rat race.



                E                 G

Pay off those losers we elect to lead. 



                   C                          A

stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed. 



                E                   G

Enslaving the very clothes upon my back,



             C                      A

 I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm sayin..









[Chorus]

C                     G

Running through the fire,



                     C

running through the flame,



                     G 

Running through the hatred,



                    C

pushing through the blame, 



                     G                 D

running through the hopelessness and shame, 



                     C

[Verse 2]

            E                      G

Big heavy pirates man digging those holes,



                C                    A

 messing with something that they can't control.



            E                      G

Trespassing lands where they don't belong,



                C                    A

 all I hear is screaming whee there once were songs.



             E                      G

I got my brothers there fighting those wars,



                C                    A

 fighting over scraps and scraping their sores. 



            E                      G

Under a blanket of a fire and pride that can't keep us warm for the cold 

inside, inside, 



 C

I'm saying





[Chorus]





C                     G

Running through the fire,



                     C

running through the flame,



                     G 

Running through the hatred,



                    C

pushing through the blame, 



                     G                 D

running through the hopelessness and shame, 



                     C           

Revolution already underway







[verse 3]

            E                      G

So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?



                C                    A

Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? 



            E                      G

Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake,



       C                    A

 open my fist my destiny I take! 



            E                      G

Good people sick and tired of being pushed around,



              C                    A

 we call them kings but I see no crown. 



            E                      G

Tell me when you think we'll just stand up? 



                C                    A

Say enough is enough is enough, enough, I'm saying





[Chorus]





C                     G

Running through the fire,



                     C

running through the flame,



                     G 

Running through the hatred,



                    C

pushing through the blame, 



                     G                 D

running through the hopelessness and shame, 



                     C
