[Dm][Am][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Chorus] Riddle me who, riddle [Dm]me
why,
answer me this,
Who owns the chains that
bind your wrists?
Riddle me who, riddle me why,
answer me this,
Who built the machine that
washed your brain?
Like parents did before them
Your parents did [Am]the same
They said [Dm]do your best,
you must pass the test
[Am]You must learn to [Dm]play
the game
They scrimped and saved and suffered
[Am]To send you of[Dm]f to[Am] school
But if they'd [Dm]had the cash they
could've bought the class
[Am]And a different set of rules[Dm]

[Verse 2]
Riddle me who, riddle me [Dm]why,
answer me this,
Who owns the chains that
bind your wrists?
Riddle me who, riddle me why,
answer me this,
Who built the machine
[Am]that washed your brain?
[Dm]They

[Verse 3]
taught a simple system
Why they had and you [Am]had not
They said [Dm]know your place,
you can't win the race
Life's an auction [Am]you're the lot
If you'd [Dm]ever thought to question
They would never answer [Am]why
When they [Dm]buy your sweat,
your are in their debt
And they own you [Am]till you [Dm]die

[Verse 4]
Riddle me who, riddle me [Dm]why,
answer me this,
Who owns the chains that
bind your wrists?
Riddle me who, [Am]riddle me [Dm]why,
answer me this,
Who built the ma[Am]chine
[Dm]that washed your brain?

[Verse 5]
[Am]
[Dm]You[Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am][F]
[Dm]took hook line and sinker
Everything they [Am]fed
Worked [Dm]day and night, for most your life
To earn their daily bread
Now you're old and weary,
And you lay you down to sleep
With body worn and spirit torn
What's left is yours [Am]to ke[Dm]ep

[Verse 6]
Riddle me [Dm]who, riddle [Am]me w[Dm]hy,
answer me [Am]this,
[Dm]Who owns the chains that
bind your wrists?
Riddle me who, riddle me why,
answer me [Am]this,[Dm]
Who built [Am]the ma[Dm]chine that washed your brain?
