A G# F# E      E              E/G#                  A              
           the voices in your head are calling stop wasting your time ,  
theres nothing coming  
E               E/G#               A 
only a fool can think someone can save you 
    E                     E/G#                 A      
the men in the factry are old and cunning  you don't own nothing  boy get  
                 E                  E/G#              A       <<<  E

But you grow up and you calm down,  Working for the clampdown 
A         D       G        A                         D    A 
You start wearing Blue and Brown and working for the clampdown 
D                     G                          D   A 
So you got someone to boss around  make you feel big now 
D                   G                              D    A 
You drift until you brutilize you  made your first kill now 
A        D        G        A                       D    A    
In these days of evil presidentes  working for the clampdown 
A                 D         G              A                    D    A 
But lately one or two has fully paid thier due  working for the clampdown
