[Verse 1]
[D]I spent 27 years in this [G]factory
[D]Now the boss man says, "Hey,
you're not what we need"
The penguins in the suits,
they know nothing but greed
It's [G]a solitary life when
you've [A]mouths to feed
But who cares about [D]us?[A]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][A][G]
[A][Bm][A][D][A][Bm][A][G][A][Bm]
[A]Now I'm

[Verse 2]
[D]back on the streets
With my hands held [A]shut[Bm][A]
I'm [D]a working man,
without any [A]work[Bm][A]
Well, is [D]this the [A]way it's
[G]meant to be?
[A]Because I [D]signed [A]off for the
[G]American [A]Dream
Now, [D]I write my [A]name to
[G]the welfare [A]scheme
The [G]money in the bank, well, it's [A]history
So, take [D]me down

[Verse 3]
to where
[G]the worlds col[D]lide
And [G]leave me [D]here 'til I'm [G]satis[D] fied
So, [G]let the [Bm]revolu[A]tion be
gin
[D][A][Bm][A][G][A]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
[A]Now I [D]drag these bones
'Cross the barren [A]land[Bm][A]
Where [D]once a city,
now an outstretched [A]hand[Bm]
[A]We can't los[D]e our sen[A]se of dig[G]nity
[A]While the[D] fat- faced cat[A]s lap up [G]the cream
[A]Another dis[D]appearing act[A]
falls [G]up their [A]sleeves
While [G]the shirts on our back seek [A]refugee

[Verse 5]
So, take me [D]down (take me down)
To where the [G]worlds col[D]lide
(where the worlds collide)
And [G]leave me [D]here (and leave me here), 'til
I'm [G]sat[D]isfied ('til I'm satisfied)
'Cause there'll [G]come a [Bm]day
When [A]all of us will show (we won't
[Bm]be afraid)
Although we're [G]crashing, we won't [A]burn
Let the [Bm]revolu[F#m]tion,
the [G]revolu[A]tion begin

[Verse 6]
[D]I spent [A]27 years in this factory
[D]Now the boss man [G]says, [D]"Hey,
you're not [A]what we need"
[D]The pengui[G]ns in the[A] suits,
they know nothing but [G]greed
It's [Em]a solit[Bm]ary life when
you've [A]mouths to feed

[Verse 7]
So, take me [D]down (take me down)
To where [G]the worlds col[D]lide
(where the worlds collide)
And [G]leave me [D]here (leave me here), 'til
I'm [G]sat[D]isfied ('til I'm satisfied)
[G]Do take me [D]down (take me down)
To where [G]the worlds di[D]vide
(where the worlds divide)
And [G]leave me [D]here (leave me here), I won't
[G]comprom[D] ise (I won't compromise)
'Cause there'll [G]come a day

[Verse 8]
[Bm]
When [A]all of us will show,
we won't be [Bm]afraid
'Cause from these [G]ashes we will [A]grow
So, let the [D]revolu[A]tion, the [Bm]revolu[F#m]tion,
the [G]revolu[A]tion be[D]gin[A][Bm]
[A]Begin[G][A][Bm][A]
Be[D]gin[A][Bm][A]
Be[G]gin[A][Bm][A]
[D]Be [A]gin
