Wasteland Of The Free

Iris Dement

Ton : CEnglish
C LivAming in the wastelGand of the free C 
We got pGreachers dealin' in politics and Cdiamond mines
And their sGpeech is growing incCreasingly unkind
Am They say they are Christ's disciples
But tFhey don't look like Jesus to me
And it feels liCke I am lGiving in the wasteland Cof the free
We got pGoliticians runnin' races on Ccorporate cash
Now don't tell mGe they don't turn around and kCiss them people's ass
Am Now you may call me old-fashioned
But tFhat don't fit my picture of a true democracy
And it feels liCke I am lGiving in the wasteland Cof the free
We got GE O'Cs makin' two huCndred times the workers pay
But they'll fGight like hell against Craising the minimum wage
Am And if you don't like it mister
They'll ship your jFob to some third world country 'cross the sea
And it feels liCke I am lGiving in the wasteland Cof the free
FLiving in the wGasteland of the fCree
EWhere the poor have now become the enemAmy
FLet's blame our tCroubles on the weak ones
SEounds like some kind of Am Hitler remedFy
Living in the wGasteland of the freCe
We got lGittle kids with guns fighting Cinner-city wars
So what do we dGo we put these little kCids behind prison doors
Am And we call ourselves the advanced civilisation
FBut that sounds like crap to me
And it feels liCke I am lGiving in the wasteland Cof the free
We got hGigh school kids runnin' 'round in CCalvin Klein and Guess
Who cannot pGass a sixth grade reading tCest
Am But if you ask them they can tell you
FThe name of every crotch on MTV
And it feels liCke I am lGiving in the wasteland Cof the free
We kill for oGil then throw a Cparty when we win
Some guy refGuses to fight and we Ccall that the sin
Am But he's standin' up for what he believes in
FAnd that seems pretty damned American to me
And it feels liCke I am lGiving in the wasteland Cof the free
FLiving in the waGsteland of the fCree
EWhere the poor have now become the enemAmy
FLet's blame our tCroubles on the weak ones
SEounds like some kind of Am Hitler remedFy
Living in the wGasteland of the freCe
WFhilst we sit gCloating in our greatness
JEustice is sinking to the bAmottom of the sea
F Living in the wGasteland of the freCe
F Living in the wGasteland of the freCe
F Living in the wGasteland of the freCe
