[Verse]

A#
"Publicly subsidized! Privately profitable!"
        F
The anthem of the upper-tier, puppeteer untouchable.
Gm
Focus a moment, nod in approval,
D#                                                         A#
Bury our heads back in the bar-codes of these neo-colonials.
A#
Our former nemesis, the romance of the nation state,
F
Now plays fundraiser for a new brand of power-concentrate.
Gm                                          D#
Try again, but now we're confused; what is "class war"?
        D#                      A#
Is this class war? Yes, this is class war.

[Chorus]

D#
And I'm just a kid.
A#                      F                        A#
I can't believe I gotta worry about this kind of shit.
D#            A# F  A#
What a stupid wo-o-orld.
D#             A#
And it's beautiful,
     F              A#
No regard for principle.
D#
What a stupid world.

[Verse]

A#
Born, hired, disposed.
           C
Where that job lands, everybody knows.
        D
You can tell by the smile on the CEO,
F             F#                      A#
Environmental restraints are about to go.
A#                       C
You can bet laws will be set
     C
To ensure the benefit
   D#
Of unrestricted labour laws,
F                F#                      A#
Kept in place by displacement government death squads.

[Refrain]

A#       C
They own us.
C        D#
They own us.
D#      F
Produce us.
F   F#
Consume us.

[Outro]

            A#
Punk Rock Sucks
                                   C
The bands are only in it for the bucks
                                   D#
The people that believe it are canucks
                        F                 F#
Cuz they're playing the men and not the pucks
                    A#
Punk rock fucking sucks
