[Am]Sole[F]mn r[Am]egre[C]t,[Am][F][Am][C][Am][C][Am]

[F]Whe[Em]n conveni[Am]ent we exalt them
and pay [C]them such respect
As if [Dm]we're all in an equivalent
[F]trajectory[Em]
[Am]An d trash piles h[F]igh in[Em] the[Am] rubble

[F]pover[Em]ty
[Am]I'd like

[Verse 6]
to [F]be [Em]empa[Am]thetic but I can't
[G]The[Am] jeopard[F]y is [E]too[Am] great
to make a stand
[G]Now [F]the past is

[Verse 7]
[C]dea[G]d
[F]Good deeds won't help [C]you get [G]ahead
The [F]modern sign[C]post [G]read the pas
