We do it everyday

Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change

A window and a pidgen with a broken wing
                      Bb                       Dm
You could spend you whole life working for something
                       C
Just to have it taken away

             Bb                        Dm
People walk around pushing back their desks
           Bb                          Dm      C
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
                 Bb                        Dm
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death
                        C            Dm (no bottom E string) C
Every little heartbeat every little breath

               Bb                      Dm
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
                Bb                     Dm     C
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
               Bb                    Dm
It could be a bomb, or a bullet or a pin
                    C
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence

                Bb                    Dm
There ain't no reason things are this way
                         Bb                      Dm C
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
              Bb                     Dm
I dont't know why i say the things i say
                  C
But i say them anyway
