Inside Job

	  		
Em             C#m7/5-   C7 
While you were sleeping they came and took it all away 
Em                C#m7/5-   C7 
The lanes and the meadows, the places where you used to play 

E                  Em C#m 
It was an inside job  by the well-connected 
C7 
Your little protest summarily rejected 
E                  Em  C#m 
It was an inside job like it always is 
C7 
Chalk it up to business as usual 

While we are dreaming this little island disappears 
While you are looking the other way they'll take your right to own your own ideas 

And it's an inside job, favors collected 
Your trusted servants have left you unprotected 
It was an inside job like it always is 
Just chalk it up to business as usual 

A7                                 F#7 
You think that you're so smart but you don't have a fucking clue 
A7                              F#7 
What those men up in the towers are doing to me and you 
                 A7 
And they'll keep doin' it and doin' it 
     F#7 
And doin' it and doin' it And doin' it and doin' it and doin' it 
         A7                            C6            Em 
Until we all wake up wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up 

I know what I've done wrong I am acquainted with the night 
I know how hard it is to always walk out in the light 
And it's an inside job to learn about forgiving 
It's an inside job to hang on to the joy of living 

They know the road by which you came, they know your mother's maiden name 
And what you had for breakfast and what you've hidden in the mattress 
Insect politics, indifferent universe 
Bang your head against the wall but apathy is worse 
It's an inside job, It's an inside job 
It's an inside job  Yeh, yeah
