Punk Rock Song

[Intro]
C#m E B G#
C#m E

[Verse 1]
B G#         C#m         E
    Have you been to the desert?
         B               F#
Have you walked with the dead?
          C#m              E              B
There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their
G#
bread
        A                               E
And the figures don't lie they speak of human disease,
       B                      E             B
But we do what we want and we think what we please.

[Verse 2]
         C#m         E
Have you lived the experience?
         B             F#
Have you witnessed the plague?
C#m           E                B         G#
People making babies sometimes just to escape.
        A                          E
In this land of competition the compassion is gone,
       B                       E            B
Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on.
B E            B
  Keep pushing on

[Chorus]
C#m     A      E         B
This is just a punk rock song
C#m             A              E               G#
Written for the people who can see something's wrong.
     A                   E
Like ants in a colony we do our share,
            G#                    G#
But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there.
    C#m     A      E    G#   C#m  E
And this is just a punk rock song.
B G# C#m E B
G#         C#m         E
  Have you visited the quagmire?

[Verse 3]
         B           F#
Have you swam in the shit?
    C#m      E                B        G#
The party conventions and the real politic,
    A
The face is always different,
       E
the rhetoric the same,
       B
But we swallow it all,
       E           B
and we see nothing change.
E           B
Nothing has changed

[Chorus]
C#m     A      E         B
This is just a punk rock song
C#m             A              E               G#
Written for the people who can see something's wrong.
     A                       E
Like workers in a factory we do our share
            G#
But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there.
    C#m     A      E    G#   C#m  E
And this is just a punk rock song.

B G# C#m E B G#

[Verse 4]
C#m         E            B         F#
Ten million dollars on a losing campaign,
C#m            E            B           F#
Twenty million starving and writhing in pain.
C#m        E        B          F#
Big strong people unwilling to give,
C#m      E          B      G#
Small in vision and perspective.
A                          E
One in five kids below the poverty line,
B                      E      B
One population runnin' out of time.
E           B
Runnin' out of time.

[Chorus]
C#m     A      E         B
This is just a punk rock song
C#m             A              E               G#
Written for the people who can see something's wrong.
     A                   E
Like ants in a colony we do our share,
            G#
But there's so many other fuckin' insects out there.
    C#m     A      E    G#
And this is just a punk rock song.

[Bridge]
A             A                 E
Figures don't lie they speak of human disease,
       B                      E             B
But we do what we want and we think what we please.
A                          E
One in five kids below the poverty line,
B                      E      B
One population runnin' out of time.

[Chorus]
C#m     A      E         B
This is just a punk rock song,
C#m     A      E         B
This is just a punk rock song,
C#m     A      E    G#   C#m
This is just a punk rock song.
