F#m - D - E x 4

         F#m
and the sky is falling upwards on a summer deset night

while kids in school are forced to sing
     D                   E
the battle hymns just right
        F#m
and the extras paid to get excited
on the TV screen
so doped up on diversion
          D                   E
that they don't know what it means
       A
to be free to hate the ones you hate
C#m
free to love the ones you love
F#m
free to like the land you live on
D
not the one who leads
A               C#m
all I'm sayin, dig the grave you lay in
D           
after all, you make the call
 E             F*        F# - B  -  D  - E  - A - B - D - E
hang up before its too late
       F#m
make sure to give your full attention
 D                  E
smile the best you can
       F#m
watch this hand give a peace sign
            D            E
while the other chokes a man
     F#m
cus he wants to love another man
      D                 E
they tell you that it's bad
     F#m
cuz some book that set the moral codes
     D            E
is glamourized in ads

CHORUS

          F#m
and the back flipping, spike-haired preachers
preaching through their headset mics
       F#                
saying God is the new Elvis and
       F#
he's "gonna rock tonight"
         F#
so just sip on that new energy drink
   D                     E
although it tastes like shit
        F#m
cuz a pretty TV couple
            D                 E
says they can't live without it

CHORUS

F#m - A - D - E x 2   end with F#m
lateee
