(Capo on 3)

(Intro.)
None

(Verse 1)
I've been (Em)selling my soul, (C)working all day
(G)Overtime hours, for (D)bulls**t pay
So I can (Em)sit out here, and waste (C)my life away
(G)Drag back home, and drown my (D)troubles away

(Pre-Chorus)
It's a (Em)damn shame, what the (C)world's gotten to
For (G)people like me, and (D)people like you
Wish I could (Em)just wake up, and it (C)not be true
But it is, (G) aw it is (D)

(Chorus)
Livin' in the (Em)new world, (C) with an (G)old soul (D)
These rich men (Em)north of Richmond
(C)Lord knows they all, just (G)wanna have total con-(D)trol
Wanna know what you (Em)think, wanna know what you (C)do
And they don't think you (G)know, but I know that you (D)do
'Cause your dollar ain't (Em)s**t, and it's taxed to no (C)end
'Cause of rich (G)men, north of Rich-(D)mond

(Verse 2)
I wish poli-(Em)ticians would look out for (C)miners
And not just (G)minors on an island somewhere (D)
Lord, we got (Em)folks in the street, ain't got (C)nothin' to eat
And the (G)obese, milkin' wel-(D)fare
But God, if you're (Em)five foot three and you're (C)three hundred pounds
Taxes (G)ought not to pay for your (D)bags of fudge rounds
Young men are (Em)puttin' themselves six (C)feet in the ground
'Cause all this (G)damn country does, is keep on (D)kickin' them down

(Pre-Chorus)
Lord, it's a (Em)damn shame, what the (C)world's gotten to.
For (G)people like me, and (D)people like you.
Wish I could (Em)just wake up, and it (C)not be true
But it (G)is, aw it (D)is

(Chorus)
Livin' in the (Em)new world, (C) with an (G)old soul (D)
These rich men (Em)north of Richmond
(C)Lord knows they all, just (G)wanna have total con-(D)trol
Wanna know what you (Em)think, wanna know what you (C)do
And they don't think you (G)know, but I know that you (D)do
'Cause your dollar ain't (Em)s**t, and it's taxed to no (C)end
'Cause of rich men, (G) north of Richmond (D)
