[Verse 1]
G           Em          C            C    B  Am      D                G                 C           Am
The lake of dead black children that America created is getting fuller than the Founding Fathers even wanted
    G        Em      C        C    B   Am
The ghost of great America was underestimated
           D            G                C                Am
And now it rages like a cold sore on the lip of this dumb nation


[Refrain]
D                    Am              Em       D                        G
Again, we've slipped inside a pit of absolute despair, that's where we live

[Verse 2]
   G      Em      C               C       B    Am
I used to comfort myself with the myth of good intention
  D                    G                C               Am
I can't believe that I believed that goodness was inherent
    G     Em    C            C      B   Am
The liars lying constantly, post-truth, post-everything
D           G             C                    Am
Some denied humanity, and most at least fucked over

[Interlude]
D                    Am              Em       D
Ooooh


[Verse 3]
   G       Em     C            C          B     Am
My leaders led by nothing-men, dick-first into oblivion
    D                G                        C             Am
The civil war didn't just begin, they've been blowing us to pieces
G         Em        C               C            B     Am
Rewarding our worst cruelty, they destroyed our shared reality
             D             G                 C              Am
And now they upsell us our dignity like some fucked V.I.P. package





[Refrain]
D                    Am              Em       D                        G
Again, we've slipped inside a pit of absolute despair, that's where we live
   Em D   D                    Am              Em       D                        G
No-oo-oo, again, we've slipped inside a pit of absolute despair, that's where we live
         Em
Until we don't





[Outro]

   D           Am        G
No justice, no peace, no hope
