  			F#m     A       D 
The people who are born into people 
I´m never short of food on the table 
Shaking hands with fake tans and southern dreams 
Douse the world in kerosene 

Bm              G       D 
We can tell the truth 
Yeah we can tell the truth 
Yeah we can tell the truth 
Someone's gonna lose 
Someone's gonna lose 
Yeah someone's got to lose 
Oh yeah 

F#m     A       D 
They manipulate our religions 
To set us on a unified vision 
Fill our mouths with words so we listen 
In a comfortable state of submission 

Bm              G       D 
So we can tell the truth 
So we can tell the truth 
So we can tell the truth 
They keep a shadow over you 
A shadow over you 
A shadow over you 
They'll never show you proof 
They'll never show you proof 

G       Bm       A      E 
They'll never show you people can change 
And we´re all the same, 
Money wont cover up their mistakes, yeah 

D A E (x3) 

F#m     A       D 
Everybody loves a winner 
Nobody wants to lose 
So place your bets and think like the rest 
So you can be a winner too 
So you can be a winner too 

Bm              G       D 
We can't ignore truth 
We can't ignore truth 
We can't ignore truth 
Someone's gonna lose 
Someone's gonna lose 
And it could be you
