[Intro]

N.C.
Woah ... Woah ... Woah ... Woah
N.C.
Woah ... Woah ... Woah ... Woah
F                 Cadd4/F
Woah ... Woah ... Woah ... Woah
Bb
Woah ... Woah ... Woah ... Woah


[Verse]

F                              Cadd4/F
It feels completely ridiculous that I’m a willing participant,
Bb
gazing at the purple and pinks in the shadow of a bank-sponsored skyline.
F                                  Cadd4/F
“Unite against the establishment! (while drones transmit the images
Bb
to a server farm in the valley for a culture that will eat its own insides.)”


[Chorus]

Dm                        A/C#      F           A
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
Dm                    A/C#      F           A
they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
Dm                    A/C#      F         A
They wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it,
       Bb          G
if you didn’t have something they could


[Verse]

F                                       Cadd4/F
Take a long look at the billboards that smother the air ‘til you can’t ignore ‘em
    Bb
and glamorize department store crust-punk-chic ‘cause Satan’s trending up and it’s Fashion Week,
 but
F                                                                   Cadd4/F
this this is not a movement. It’s just careful entertainment for an easy demographic

in our sweatshop denim jackets and we’ll
Bb
wonder, “What just happened?!” when the world becomes Manhattan where the banks steal the 
apartments

just to render them abandoned.


[Chorus]

Dm                        A/C#      F           A
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
Dm                    A/C#      F           A
they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
Dm                    A/C#      F         A
They wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it,
       Bb          G                    F
if you didn’t have something they could take.
A       Dm      Bb
ake ... ake ... ake
F        A       Dm      Bb
Take ... ake ... ake ... ake

F        A        Dm       B/D#
Woah ... Woah ... Woah ... Woah
Bb       F/A      G        B/D#
Woah ... Woah ... Woah ... Woah


[Verse]

F                                A
We’re not stupid people but this financial oppression has got
Dm                          B/D#
everyone believing all that we can do is nothing ‘cause
   Bb                            F/A
we organize through avenues they lace with advertisements
       G                               B/D#
so the ones we try to rage against are still lining their pockets.


[Chorus]

N.C.
Oh, they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
N.C.
they wouldn’t be your friend if you weren’t worth something.
D                     A/C#      F         A
They wouldn’t be your friend if it wasn’t worth it,
       Bb          G                    F
if you didn’t have something they could take.
A       Dm      Bb
ake ... ake ... ake
F        A       Dm      Bb
Take ... ake ... ake ... ake
F        A       Dm      Bb
Take ... ake ... ake ... ake
F        A       Dm      Bb
Take ... ake ... ake ... ake
