Light Pollution Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Joh[G]n A. Hobson was a [D]good man
[A]He used to [Em]loan me books
and [Bm]mic [D]stands
[G]He even got me a sub[D]scription
To the So[A]cialist [D]Review
[G]Listening to records in [D]his basement
[A]Old folk songs about the [Bm]government[D]
[G]"It's love of money,
not [D]the market"
He said, "these [A]fuckers push
on you"

[Verse 2]
"And freedom [G]yells, it don't [D]cry
Whatever sell[G]s will d[Em]ecide
But [Bm]there's [Em]no h[G]ell when you die
[Bm]So don't look so worried"
[A]

[Verse 3]
[G]He got a night life, lost his day[D] job
[A]Pushing papers,
swinging [Bm]pendulum[D]s[G]
Anything to serve [D]a function
Or to [A]occupy some time
[G]

[Verse 4]
You gotta earn this living [D]somehow
[A]You're good as dea[Em]d
[A]without [Bm]a bank [D]account
[G]But it's funny how alive [D]he felt down
In that [A]unemployment line
With all that [D]trash

[Verse 5]
[G]at his fee[D]t
The pools of [G]piss in [Bm]the street
All of that [G]filthy empathy
[Bm]For the way we're feeling[A]

[Interlude 1]
[A][Em][D][A][Bm][D]
[A][Em][D][A][Em][D][A][Bm]
[A][Em][D][A][F#]

[Verse 6]
The billboards [Bm]shade
The flags they [A]wave
The anthem was play[D]ing [Bm]loud
The baseball [D]game was letting out
[G][A]

[Verse 7]
[F#]And all at once[Bm]
He saw the [A]dust
And heard every tiny [D]sound[Bm]
Got in his [D]truck and turned
around
[G]

[Verse 8]
[A]
Drove out through the
[G]crowd and the [D]cops
Drove out past that [G]center [D]mall
Drove out past [G]that sickening [D]sprawl
Out past [G]that fenced in [D]gold

[Verse 9]
And maybe he [G]lost con[D]trol
Fucking with [G]the radi[D]o
But I bet the [G]stars seemed so [Bm]close
[A]At [D]the[A] end[G][D]
At the en[G]d[D]
At the en[G]d[D][G]

[Outro 1]
