G Em7 D severing life line with shame , G Em7 Cadd9 G speak to the masses and make ’em smile . G Em7 D donning a halo you’ve made , G Em7 Cadd9 G but the wind won’t carry you far this time . G Em7 D the truth is you’ve lost your own wings . G Em7 Cadd9 G traded them in for mere shiny things , G Em7 D while lining your pockets as well . C G D Em oh and as the bow breaks , on come the stones . C G D G to force your head down , as they are thrown . C G D Em just as there’s lies , truth will be told . C G D G mind the forked tongue or wake up missing one . G Em C G G Em7 Cadd9 G to hell with political campaign charades . G Em7 D i’d rather dig a hole in the earth G Em7 Cadd9 G than to listen to a coward from a tailored world . G Em7 D who’d be hard - pressed to carry their own worth . G Em7 Cadd9 G instead leave the death and the work to those G Em7 D who suffer for freedom and food . G Em7 Cadd9 G fighting for family and home at hand , G Em7 D and dying for nothing for you . C G D Em oh and as the bow breaks , on come the stones . C G D G to force your head down , as they are thrown . C G D Em just as there’s lies , truth will be told . C G D G mind the forked tongue or wake up missing one . G Em Cadd9 G
