When I was growing up not long ago though it seems like it’s so far away
     Bm                            G                             Bm                      G
We played under the sun we didn’t plug ourselves in were made to pray at the end of the day
    G          Bm             G             Bm           A
Now everything changing these people aren’t real and our children are dying
            G#m                         Em           Bm           G
Cuz they’re hard and don’t feel and its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill
         A                  G#m
And its mothers go bury your sons

[Chorus]

  Em                  G
All I smell is smoke when I step outside
        Bm                    G
And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive
        Em               G                Bm             Em     G
And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal

[Verse]

Bm       Em   G            Bm                                        Em
Remember when cowboys were cowboys and only children played pretend
G        Bm     G                   Bm                             G
Remember when a man was a man not a product or a title or a brand
      Em       F#               G                      A
Now everything’s changing these people aren’t real and we have no heroes
      G#m
They’re pink in the middle
           Bm                                                         A                     Bm
They don’t say what they mean they don’t do what they say they won’t stand here and die for it

[Chorus]

    C                       Em
All I smell is smoke when I step outside
        D                              Em
And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive
        C                Em               D              Bm
And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal
        C                               Em
And the shadows from the buildings just kill the trees
        D                           Em
And the only thing we’re good at is spreading disease
        C               Em               D              Bm
And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal

[Verse]

         Em      G
Remember when we hadn’t a worry and things just moved slower now
   Bm
We weren’t in such a hurry
       Em            F#    G              Bm                    C              Bm
And we weren’t dying so we didn’t have to bury our brothers and sisters in the dirt
    Em         F#             G             Bm
Now everything changing these people aren’t real
         A                             Bm
And our children are dying cuz they’re hard and can’t feel
        Em          F#            G             Bm
And its lie and its cheat and its steal and its kill
        A                      Bm
And its I die if I don’t shoot first...


[Chorus]

   Em          F#          G
All I smell is smoke when I step outside
        A                         F#
And the mountains keep crying cuz were burning alive
  Em         F#          G                A              Bm
And the people fight the people like they forgot we were equal
         Em              F#              G
And the shadows from the buildings just kill the trees
        A                           F#
And the only thing we’re good at is spreading disease
        Em    F#        G                A              Bm
And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal

[Outro]

    Em                                    G
And you can’t kill something that doesn’t care if it lives
       A                            G#m
And I’m sinking with my city like a captain and ship
        G      Bm       G                A         G#m        Em
And the people kill the people like they forgot we were equal
