[Verse]
Am                   C             
I don't need to be a global citizen
F                     G           Am
'cause I'm blessed by nationality ■ 
                  C       F       
I'm a member of a growing populace
               G          Am
We enforce our popularity ■ 
                              C             F  
There are things that seem to pull us under and
                      G           
There are things that drag us down
Am                        C             
But there's a power and a vital presence
F                  E7    
That's lurking all around
Am C             F        G     Am

                     C       F         
I feel sorry for the Earth's population
                          G  
'cause so few live in the USA
Am                          C        F       
At least the foreigners can copy our morality
                        G      Am  
They can visit but they cannot stay
                      C          F         
Only precious few can garner the prosperity
                              G         
It makes us walk with renewed confidence
Am                   C             
We've got a place to go when we die
    F                           E    E7
And the architect resides right here ■

He's the farmers' barren fields
C                        
The force the army wields
    F                              G

The false sincerity
F                                     G            
The form letter that's written by the big computers
Am               
The nuclear bombs
C                    
The kids with no moms
        F                        E7 Am  
And I'm fearful that he's inside me yeah
