Dm              A
Tell me it's alright
     A#          F
even if it is a lie
      Am
Cause I don't want to
A#                F
hear it's just a blessing
       A       Dm
in disguise I read between
     A          A#
the lines given up on warning
 F         Am          A#
signs But now we must face
               F           A
the truth it's order in decline

Dm  G#   Gm      Dm
If this will persist
     G# Gm
then we will resist!

Chorus:
    Gm        F
Now it's your right cause
       A               Dm
every dog has got its day
    Gm       F       A
And we will fight resist
         Dm               Dm A A# F A
in every way Your time is up

Now I'm not one to talk, '
cause I know I have my faults
But even I know you can't
evolve by building up your walls
I can't help but criticize
as you tear me down to size
For all that you've done
to help perpetuate the lies
A job well done

 If this will persist
then we will resist!

Chorus:
    Gm         F
Now it's your right cause
       A               Dm
every dog has got its day
    Gm       F       A
And we will fight resist
         Dm      Gm
in every way Now it's your
 F                A
right it doesn't mean
           Dm
that it's okay
    Gm         F
The end is in sight
             A
cause every dog
               Dm
will have its day
              Gm F A Dm Gm F A Dm
Your time is up up

Dm
Days get stranger the
pain gets greater
It's the human nature
      F    C
or am I insane?
    Dm
The confrontation
the aggravation
The new sensation
      F         C
well who's to blame?
Dm
Days get stranger the
pain gets greater
It's the human nature
      F    C
or am I insane?
    Dm
The confrontation
across this nation
The new sensation
                      G# Gm Dm G# Gm
tell me who's to blame!

Chorus:
Now it's your right,
'cause every dog has got its day
We're here to fight, resist in every way
(Hey, hey, hey)
Now it's your right,
it doesn't mean that it's okay
(Hey, hey, hey)
The end's in sight,
'cause every dog will have its day
Your time is up
