[Bridge]
F#                  C#
People on the street
          D#m            A#m
Unemployed   and obsolete

Did you ever learn to read the ransom note?
F# C# F# C#

[Verse 2]

  Don't want no huddled masses
B F# B F#
         TikTok and taxes
Under the overpass
B F# B F#
         Sleepin' in broken glass

[Pre-Chorus]
C#           F#
  We are not well
C#           F#
  Are we not well?

 Cracked up into the wild

  We're pedophiles for

The American Dream is killin' me
                        B  F#  B   F#
When it's all doubletalk of  insanity
             B     F# B       F#
The American Dream is killin' me
Say!

         Whitewashed upon the beach
My country under siege
B F# B F#
         On private property
