Inside Job

^EmWhile you were ^C#m7b5sleeping ^C7they came and took it all away ^EmThe lanes and the ^C#m7b5meadows, ^C7the places where you used to play

^EIt was an inside jo^Emb ^C#mby the well-connected ^C7Your little protest summarily rejected ^EIt was an inside jo^Emb li^C#mke it always is ^C7Chalk it up to business as usual

While we are dreaming this little island disappears While you are looking the other way they'll take your right to own your own ideas And it's an inside job, favors collected Your trusted servants have left you unprotected It was an inside job like it always is Just chalk it up to business as usual

^A7You think that you're so smart but ^F#7you don't have a fucking clue ^A7What those men up in the towers ^F#7are doing to me and you And they'll keep ^A7doin' it and doin' it And d^F#7oin' it and doin' it And doin' it and doin' it and doin' it Until we ^A7all wake up wake up, wake up, ^C6wake up, wake ^Emup

I know what I've done wrong I am acquainted with the night I know how hard it is to always walk out in the light And it's an inside job to learn about forgiving It's an inside job to hang on to the joy of living They know the road by which you came, they know your mother's maiden name And what you had for breakfast and what you've hidden in the mattress Insect politics, indifferent universe Bang your head against the wall but apathy is worse It's an inside job, It's an inside job It's an inside job Yeh, yeah
