Stars And Stripes
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:4th fret
[Verse 1]
Em
My sister can’t afford a house
C
And she thinks it’s her fault
Em
She says if she worked harder
C
She’d have money in the vault
Am
And my mother needs a surgery
D
Her hand’s always in pain
Am
But she fell ill last April
D
And used up all her sick days
Em C Em C
[Verse 2]
Em
They say, the homeless need to disappear
C
Extract them like a tumor
Em
A stain on our society
C
They’re all broken consumers
Am
Don’t try to put the blame on us
D
They ruined their own lives
Am
It’s not our fault they got hooked
D
On drugs that we prescribed
[Chorus]
Em C
Stars for the silver spoons
Em C
Stripes for the poor
Em C
Stars for the nightly news and
Em C
Stripes if you oppose the war
Am
Stars if you steal the land
C
Stripes if you take a stand
Am
Stars if you march in time
C Em
Stripes if you don’t fall in line
[Verse 3]
Em
We send our babies off to school
C
Our children are the future
Em
Then teach them how to hide
C
Beneath their desks for active shooters
Am
Oh we could make a difference
D
If we weren’t so fucking tired
Am
But who’s got time to fight
D
When you’re just trying to survive
[Chorus]
Em C
Stars for the silver spoons
Em C
Stripes for the poor
Em C
Stars for the nightly news and
Em C
Stripes if you oppose the war
Am
Stars if you steal the land
C
Stripes if you take a stand
Am
Stars if you march in time
C Em
Stripes if you don’t fall in line
[Bridge]
C Em
They want a standing ovation
C Em
For the hero nation but
C
Why should we when
Em
The man on the corner
Em
Begging for a quarter
Em
Lost his legs on your orders
[Chorus]
Em C
Stars for the silver spoons
Em C
Stripes for the poor
Em C
Stars for the nightly news and
Em C
Stripes if you oppose the war
Am
Stars if you steal the land
C
Stripes if you take a stand
Am
Stars if you march in time
C Em
Stripes if you don’t fall in line
Don't fall in line
