A News keeps Eflashing on my F#meyes D
A E These F#mdying streets are Dbruised and beaten
And Ariot flags are Ewaving

These Alives we could be Esaving
DLife is cheap I sit and weep 'cause Bmthere's just no mistaking C#
This is not utopia

The F#mroots, Dthe roots, the Aroots of Ehysteria
The F#mroots, Dthe roots, the Arules don'tE matter anyF#mmore

The roots, Dthe roots, the Aroots of EAmerica
The F#mroots, Dthe roots, the Aroots of Ehysteria
