Bm You in your fancy D Material world Don't see the links of chain A Binding blood Bm Our own ancestors D Are hungry ghosts Closets so full of bones A They won't close Chorus: C#m Call it upward mobility F#m But you've been sold down the river Bm Just another form of slavery D And the whole man-made white world Is your master Chorus: You in your fancy Material world Create in your own image A supreme god Your virgin mary Your holy ghosts Claimed to be pure of heart Have hands that are stained with blood Chorus You in your fancy Material world Don't see the links of chain Binding Your virgin mary Your holy ghosts Claimed to be pure of heart Have hands that are stained with blood Chorus You in your fancy Material world Don't see the links of chain Binding You can simplify chords by removing barre
