The System Isnt Broken
Blair Mitchell
Guitar chords Easy
[Intro:] G Am G Am Am N.C. Depends on where you’re born if you are green or blue. C N.C. It depends upon your class if you’re a Tory too. Em N.C. It depends upon your money if Labour get your vote. F N.C. It's a cross inside a box or a hand around your throat Am N.C. There's guns or schoolbooks, hamburgers, or kale C N.C. A flat from the council or a mansion up for sale Em N.C. It’s a break in the country or another weekend shift. F N.C. It’s a cottage for your holiday or a high rise with no lift. Am It’s shoot them all with gunboats or save the refu--gees. C It’s a microwave kebab or fried halloumi cheese. Em It’s a massive SUV just to get your kids from school. F It’s a missed welfare appointment because the bus was full Am It’s a family on Christmas, it’s a family that’s torn. C It’s a fruitful loving marriage, it’s watching too much porn Em It’s paying someone else to get the stress nodes out your back. F It’s paying someone else for a little bit of crack Am It’s anti-Semitism or Israel is wrong. C It’s fill your face with botox to release your latest song Em It’s the bottom of your bank account, it's a little put away. F It’s the Billy Graham Rule or everyone is gay G F Am Oh, the system isn't broken, it was always built this way Interlude: Am Am Black lives matter or All lives matter too. C It’s call for a ceasefire, from the arab or the jew Em And it’s fighting over oil, it’s fighting over trees. F And what about my car, what about the bees Am The plastic in the ocean, all the plastic straws. C It’s building walls for strangers or immigration laws Em It’s writing party slogan on the broad side of a bus. F It’s a jam making communist who says he’s one of us Am And it's North and South Korea, fight over a line. C We order from Ikea, our furniture in pine Em We watch a documentary on how to save the whales. F But the only thing we help are the Netflix global sales Am And animals are equals, my dog it should have rights. C Then breed them to be pretty for the sake of Facebook likes Em It’s save the rainforest, it’s leave my chocolate spread. F It’s save the orangutans, while Syrian kids lay dead Am It’s raise our income taxes, buy a second home. C It’s pay the electric bill, or a new villa in Rome Em The Queen or the Pope, Grass Court or Clay. F The end of British Rule or up the IRA G F Am Well, the system isn't broken, it was always built this way Interlude: Am Am N.C. Life starts at conception, it’s my body, it’s my choice. C N.C. It’s silent acceptance of another angry voice Em N.C. It’s a lifetime of renting, it's a gift from Mum and Dad. F N.C. It’s a life of medication, or embracing you're just sad Am N.C. It’s always being faithful or a little on the side. C N.C. It’s a working girl and John, or a new husband and bride Em N.C. It’s tearing down a statue and throwing it in the sea. F N.C. Or it’s playing college football or refuse to take a knee Am N.C. Or it’s reading the Bible, chopsticks in your ears. C N.C. It’s always to be kind, or it’s I hate Britney Spears Em N.C. It’s fairtrade coffee, it’s drinking only soy. F N.C. Or it’s caring far too much if it’s a girl or it’s a boy Am Or it’s buy your shoes from sweatshops, march against the war. C It’s giving homeless money without caring what it’s for Em Or it’s sneering at a junkie, it’s two bottles of wine. F It’s a goodbye kiss for work and pretending that you're fine Am And you send your kids to Eton, to teach them not to care. C Then learn how to distract us, convince us they’re not there Em We'll all fight each other, and scream to have our say. F Making enemies of friends, when we are all the same G N.C. G F N.C. Am Well, the system isn't broken, Well, it's always built this way
