[Verse 1]
[Em]Once upon a time
[D]In a faraway [Em]land
Lived a villain called Flash
He was such a wicked man
He terrorized the people
He broke arms and crushed hands
He ruled with a fist and
he purchased all the land

[Verse 2]
Then he [Em]plowed up [D]the fields
[A]and cut down the[Em] trees
For property [D]speculation
[Em]And he did it al[D]l for a po[A]t of g[Em]old
And for his own [D]preservation[Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]The people were scared
They didn't know where
to turn
They couldn't see any salvation
From the hoods and the spivs
And the crooked politicians

[Verse 4]
Who were cheating and lying to the nation
[Em]
[D]Save the[A] fields and the[Em] trees
And give them [D]back to the nation
[Em]Bring the government down[D]
A new lead[A]er must [Em]be found
For the sake of pre[D]servation
[Em]He said

[Verse 5]
he [D]did it [A]to help [Em]us all
And did it for the [D]good of the na[Em]tion
But he did it [D]for [A]a pot [Em]of gold
And for his [D]own[Em][D][Em][D][Em][D][Em][D][Em]
[D]pre[Em]serva[D]ti[Em]on

[Verse 6]
When [Em]money is evil
And power is corrupt
The devil moves in and takes over
Mr. Flash broke his word
And now he's got to pay
For his crimes and his lies
and his evil [D]ways

[Verse 7]
And it's [A]gonna [Em]get r[D]ough
And it's gonna [Em]get rough
It's a crime and [D]a sin that [A]no one [Em]can win
In a story [D]of self preserva[Em]tion
[D][A]
