C       G/B     Am                 FFar too long to vote their conscience
Am       G/B        CLobbied, bought and sold

[Bridge]
        Dm             F               CFor the beast to stay alive, it has to feed
                       G                     FThat's why in times of peace, they create an enemy
                               CAnd though we call the Big Red Scare
             G              DmIt's just my neighbour over there
                       AmWith hopes and dreams
