[Intro]
Dm A  x24

[Verse 1]
Dm                  A
I can't believe the time
     Dm
It's getting to be late
so crowded in the state
   A       Dm
of my mind I can't seem
to think straight it's
A
hard to tell my fate
           Dm
anymore So would you be
so kind to tell me which
                 A
direction is the door


[Chorus 1]
F            G            E
  How will I manage to survive
                        F
while I'm fighting this fiend
G                       A      Bb B C C#
Welcome to the American machine


[Verse 2]
Dm                    A
Blame blame it on the game
    Dm
The move of the technocrat
watch him tip his hat
            A
he's got no name
Dm
Corporation enterprise
A
always tries to justify
        Dm
the end Only for the short
term profits will be
                A
just around the bend


[Chorus 2]
F            G            E
  How will I manage to survive
                        F
while I'm fighting this fiend
G                       A
Welcome to the American machine

[Verse 3]
Dm                   A
Ohhh I see the river red
    Dm
The government the pentagon
choose to feed the green
         A         Dm
beret instead The streets
are filled with homeless
    A
the ignorant have nowhere
         Dm
to go So tell me where
is the Medicare amidst
                A
all the nuclear show
