Fm
There's something buried
deep between these lines
     G#       A#    Fm
that you will never see
It's something that they
                 G# A#  Fm
don't want us to figure out
Were suffocating under
all the lies and
G#      A#       Fm
picture perfect smiles
The presidents and
              G# A# C#
photographs in magazines
                     D#
And no ones listening

Chorus:
G#
We are the lives that will
  D#
decide the state of desperation
Fm                     C#   D#
Divided by a sense of doubt
G#
We'll fight for you
                D#
We'll break the rules
We'll write this indignation
Fm                           C#  D#
Until it all comes crashing down

There's something wrong when
television is the basis for our lives
They want us to believe in everything we see
It's getting harder now that all
the innocence has passed us by
Now everybody wants to get something for free
And no one’s listening

Chorus

C#
And everybody
          Fm
wants the truth
But they're too
               D#
scared to face it
C#
They just don't
              Fm       D#
accept what's happening
C#
We just sit back
              Fm
and watch the world
destroy itself
    D#   C#
when  We all know
             D#
something's wrong

Chorus

Until it all comes crashing down
