Verse 1Gm7F
High time we made a stand
EbMaj7 Am/D
And shook up the views of the common man

And the love train, rides from coast to coast
EbMaj7 Am/D
DJ's the man we love the most
Gm7F
Could you be could you be squeaky clean
EbMaj7 Am7
And smash every hope of democracy

As the headline says you're free to choose

There's egg on your face and mud on your shoes
EbMaj7 Am/D
One of these days they're gonna call it the blues

Verse 2
(same chords as Verse one)
I spy, tears in their eyes
They look to the skies for some kind of divine
intervention, food goes to waste
So nice to eat, so nice to taste
Politician granny with your high ideals
Have you no idea how the majority feels
So without love and a promised land
We're fools to the rules of the government plan
Kick out the style, bring back the jam
