C#5            Ab5     F#5
Born into Nixon I was raised in hell
C#5              Ab5      F#5
A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
C#5            Ab5      F#5
The last one born, the first one to run
C#5             Ab5   F#5
My town was blind from refinery sun

C#5        Ab5     F#5
I was made of poison and blood
C#5        Ab5    F#5
Condemnation is what I understood
C#5         Ab5    F#5
Videogames to the tower's fall
C#5        Ab5     F#5
Homeland Security could kill us all

Bbm5        F#5

C#5        F#5 C#5
We are the class of 13
C#5            Ab5
Born in the era of humility
C#5           F#5    C#5
We are the desperate in the decline
C#5             Ab5
Raised by the Bastards of 1969

C#5
My name is no one
F#5       C#5
The long lost son
          Ab5
Born of the 4th of July

C#5          F#5     C#5
Raised in an era of heroes and cons
             Ab5
That left me for dead or alive

C#5
I am a nation
F#      C#5
A worker of pride
            Ab5
My debt to the status quo

C#5
The scars on my hands
     F#5     C#5
And the means to an end
            Ab5
Is all that I have to show

C#5
I swallowed my pride
    F#5      C#5
And I choked on my faith
              Ab5
I've given my heart and my soul

C#5
I've broken my fingers
   F#5       C#5
And lied through my teeth
             Ab5
The pillar of damage control

C#5
I've been to the edge
      F#5      C#5
And I've thrown the bouquet
              Ab5
Of flowers left over the grave

C#5
I sat in the waiting room
 F#5     C#5
Wasting my time
              Ab5
And waiting for judgement day

F#5      C#5
I praise Liberty
F#5        C#5
The "Freedom to Obey"
F#5             C#5
Is the song that strangles me
         Ab5
Don't cross the line

(F#5 Ab5)

C#5     Ab5   Bbm5
Dream, America dream,
Ab5       F#5
I can't even sleep
F#m5           C#5
From the lights early dawn

C#5     Ab5    Bbm5
Scream, America scream
Ab5         F#5    F#m5  C#5
