[Intro 1]
[Em][C][G][D][Dm][Em][C][G][D5][Dm]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]The funny thing about [G]history
[D]It keeps [Dm]repeating [D]what we
[Em]got wrong
Religious wars to set[G]tling old scores
[D]Ancient gru[Dm]dges we should hav[D]e for[Em]got
We all believe in our [G]democracy
[D]But the [Dm]elections are bought by [Em]the rich
The establishment prefers [G]the [D]1%
It's [D5]a fix [Dm]that [D]we just [Em]can't quit

[Verse 2]
[Em]How long w[C]ill it take us t[Dm]o finally make
[Am]something [Em]new?[C][Em][Am][C]
When will we wake up [Dm]and finally stop
getting [Em]screwed[C][Em][Am]
[Em]It's hypoc[C]risy,
not [Dm]demo[D5]cracy [Em]and we're all being used
How long [C]will it take us [D]to make,
[Dm]make[D5] something[Dm] new?[Em]
[C][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]We all have ideas but when
[G]the government [D]steals
[Dm]Corruption wins out [C]every [Em]time
Racist bigotry in forms [G]of policy
[Dm]And get the middle class to tow the [Em]line
It's time to make a democrat[G]ic state
[D]And giv[D5]e eve[Dm]ryone an [Em]equal chance
Put an end to war [C]and don't
[G]just bomb the poor
[D5]It's the o[Dm]nly chance we reall[D5]y have[Em]

[Verse 4]
[Em]How long w[C]ill it take [G]us t[Dm]o finally
make [Am]something [Em]new?[C][Em][C]
When will we wake up [Dm]and finally
stop getting [Em]screwed[C][Em]
It's hypo[C]crisy, not [D]demo[D5] cra[Dm]cy
[D5]and [Em]we're all being used
How long [C]will it take us [D]to make,
[Dm]make[D5] something[Em] new?[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][Am][Em][Am][C][Em][C][B][Em]

[Verse 5]
I feel [Em]consensus coming [C]on[B][Em]
Armed with the truth then we
can't go [Am]wrong[C]
The [B][?] consumed [Bm]by gr[B]eed
[Em]So what's there left to do?
[C]How long will it take us [Dm]to make,
[D5]make somet[Dm]hing new?[Em][Am][C][Em]
[D5]Something [Em]new?[C]
How long will it take us [Dm]to make,
[Am]make somet[Em]hing new?[C][Em]
[Am]Something [Em]new?
Make something new?
