[Verse 1]
[Am]A co[G5]ckroa[Am]ch in the[E] concrete,
courthouse tan and beady eyes
A slouch with fallen [Em]arches,
[E]purging truths into great lies
A little man with a [Em]big [E]eraser,
changing history
Procedures that he's programmed to,
all he hears and sees

[Verse 2]
[E]Altering the [Em]facts [E]and figures,
events and every issue
Make a [Am]per s[E]on d[Em]is a[E]ppear,
and no one will ever [Em]miss [G5]you[Am][Bb][G5][E]
Rewrites every [Em]story,

[Verse 3]
[E]
every poem that ever [Em]was[G5][Am]
[E]Eliminates [Em]in co[E]mpetence,
and those [Am]who [E]break the [Em]laws[G5][Am]
Fol[E]low the instructions of the New
[E5]Ways[E]' Ev[Em]il Book of[G5] Rules[Am]
[G5]Replac[E]ing righ[Am]ts wi[E]th wron[Em]gs,[E]
the files and records in the [Em]schools

[Verse 4]
you've got the answers,
well who asked [E5]you a[E]nyway?[E5][E][E5][E]
Ever think maybe it was meant
to be this [E5]way?[E]
Don't try to fool us,
we know the worst is yet to come
[G5]And [E]I be[E5]liev[E]e my kingdom [C]will co[G]me[F]

Ancestors' blood in

In [E5]the l[E]and of the free,

D, for your dying, [F]O, your overture

Put [E]your hand [Em]right up [E]my shirt
Pull the strings that make me work
Jaws will part, words fall out
Like a fish with hook [Am]in
[E]mouth

[Verse 9]
Rewrites every [E]story,
every poem that ever [Em]was[G]
[E]Eliminates incompetence,
and those who break the [G]laws[G5][Am]
[F]Fol[E]low the instructions of the New
Ways' Evil Book [G]of [Am]Rules
Repla[E]cing rights with wrongs,
