Do we call this trying?
       Fm
We're hopeless
              Em
Forget the denying
     Fm          Em
Our souls are corrupt
     Fm        Em
Our minds are messed up
     Fm             Em
Our consciences bankrupt
Dm         C
Oh, we're fucked

People
What are we thinking?
It's shameful
Our standards are sinking
We're barely hanging on
Our spirit has gone
And once where it shone
I hear a lonesome song

People
How are we coping?
It's futile
To even start hoping
That justice will prevail
That truth will tip the scales
Our dignity has sailed
Oh, we've failed
