The undermining social         democratic downhill slide into      abysmal 
D5                    D7 (no 3rd)      G/D                  Em7

Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,

The information nation took their clues     from all the sound - bite gluttons.

Calculate the capital, up the republic my skinny ass. 
      G                                   F 
T.V. tells a million lies.  The papers terrified to report 
anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon, 
           G                                 F(VIII) G(X)      C(III) D(V)  C 
I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this.  So,          what to     do,  man.

   If they weren't there we would have created them.  Maybe, it's true, 
    Bb                           A 
but I'm resentful all the same.  Someone's got to take the blame. 
  D5                D7 (no 3rd)  G/D         Em7 
I know that this is vitriol.    No solution,    spleen-venting, 
     D5             D7 (no 3rd)                 G/D      Em7 
But I   feel better having     screamed; don't you?
