Though they once sounded (D5) right and rare?

We're (F5) hungry and frozen

Some (C5) life that we've chosen

(C5) How do you stay on your feet

When on every street it's 'trick or treat'

and tears you inside out

'Til (E5) you're torn apart (F sharp5)

Rent

(D5) How can you connect in an age

where strangers, landlords, lovers

Your own (E5) blood cells betray?

What (D5) binds the fabric together

When the raging, shifting winds of change

Keep (E5) ripping away? (F sharp5)

Draw a (G5) line in the sand

And then (D5) make a stand

Use your (G5) camera to spar

Use (D5) your guitar

When (G5) they act tough, you (D5) call their bluff

(A minor) We're not (F/A) gonna (A minor6) pay (F/A)
