Am
Work work busy busy bang bang
twenty-five hours a day
feels like working on a chain gang
and never seems to get away
Money to burn, money to burn
a platinum card for show
D             Am   D            Am D G
where does it go, how should I know?

Chorus:
           D
And it's two way traffic
     D/C
on a one way street
         G
all the voices in the air
are stuck on repeat
         D
it's a two-horse race
       D/C
in a one-horse town
        G
like a house of cards
                     F
it's gonna fall down
D
war plays out
         D/C
getting ready to rumble
    G
survival of the fittest
the law of the jungle
D
fold back, hold back
D/C
get yourself a seat
      G                             Am
the two way traffic on a one way street

Superman where are you?
We need you to pave the way
Feels like an alien invasion
Trouble coming every day
War of the worlds, you get the girl
It really don't sound that bad
Fight in the snow, way to go, yeah

Chorus

And it's two way traffic
on a one way street
all the voices in the air
are stuck on repeat
it's a two-horse race
in a one-horse town
like a house of cards
it's gonna fall down
war plays out
getting ready to rumble
survival of the fittest
the law of the jungle
fold back, hold back
get yourself a seat
the two way traffic on a one way street

Two way traffic
on a one way street
all the voices in the air
are stuck on repeat
it's a two-horse race
in a one-horse town
like a house of cards
it's gonna fall down
war plays out
getting ready to rumble
survival of the fittest
the law of the jungle
fold back, hold back
get yourself a seat

      G                   A#            D D/C
the two way traffic on a one way street

 G                   A#            D D/C
two way traffic on a one way street
 G                   A#            D D/C
two way traffic on a one way street
 G                   A#            D D/C
two way traffic on a one way street
