[Verse]
D/F#                Cadd9              G            D/F#        A7sus4
       Here again I find myself in the belly of the beast
D/F#                  Cadd9             G          D/F#        A7sus4
       Trying to make sense of all this ruin and decline
D/F#                          Cadd9         G              D/F#        A7sus4
       There's no seat at the table for the beggars at the feast
D/F#        Cadd9      G                D/F#
       Or anybody unprepared to toe the line
D/F# Cadd9  G  D/F#   A7sus4
D/F#                  Cadd9            G              D/F#        A7sus4
      The dogs of war devour doves and beggars at the feet
D/F#                   Cadd9              G                   D/F#        A7sus4
      Hawks and greedy leaders that clap along and bare their teeth
D/F#                  Cadd9             G               D/F#        A7sus4
      An insipid and compliant press in lockstep on the beat
D/F#                        Cadd9          G            D/F#        A7sus4
      Splashing three word slogans neither them or us believe

[Chorus]
D/F#     C                    G            D/F#        A7sus4
Oh       please forgive that step into the dark
D/F#                       C             G                 D/F#        A7sus4
    This road will lead us nowhere, this path will see us lost
D/F#           C                 G           D/F#        A7sus4
Oh     I guess everybody's got a rubicon to cross
D/F#                     C             G            D/F#        A7sus4
       The future's suffocating on an echo from the past
D/F#                      C            G            D/F#        A7sus4

[Verse]
D/F#                        Cadd9             G                      D/F#        A7sus4
       It's all the same to me if you're red, green, white, black or blue
          D/F#                Cadd9            G              D/F#        A7sus4
It's your hands that hold the reins, your only mandate is the truth
D/F#                 Cadd9            G              D/F#        A7sus4
       A guardian of future's for the ragged and the bruised
D/F#                        Cadd9            G             D/F#        A7sus4
       A mouthpiece for the voiceless, not a vassal of the few
D/F#                   Cadd9               G            D/F#        A7sus4
       The saying goes that people get the leaders they deserve
D/F#                  Cadd9                     G              D/F#        A7sus4
       Take a look at our leaders, I guess that makes us all absurd

[Chorus/Outro]
D/F#     C                    G            D/F#        A7sus4
Oh       please forgive that step into the dark
D/F#                       C             G                 D/F#        A7sus4
    This road will lead us nowhere, this path will see us lost
D/F#           C                 G           D/F#        A7sus4
Oh     I guess everybody's got a rubicon to cross
D/F#                     C             G            D/F#        A7sus4
       The future's suffocating on an echo from the past
    D/F#                            C
The saying goes that people get the leaders they deserve
G                               D/F#
Here we are in the belly of the beast
    D/F#                      C                G            D/F#
The saying goes that people get            the leaders they deserve
D/F#                     C             G            D/F#        A7sus4
D/F#                     C             G            D/F#
