[Verse 1]
Bm
Did this one get under your skin?
Bm A G
Seasons Greetings from Ferguson
D
Did you see the shape his momma was in?
D A G
When you can't build you burn can you call that a sin?
[Chorus]
Bm G
From an ivory tower I hear the critique
D A
About how they should respond, "they should protest in peace"
Bm G
But to admonish don't you already have to believe
D A
In a system that would intervene
Bm G A
On behalf of a few not for a greedy machine?
Repeat intro
[Verse 2]
Bm
Thank god it didn't happen to me
Bm A G
I can watch from by Black Friday discount TV
D
And carve up the bird and give thanks
D A G
That they won't come for us cause we paid for the tanks
Bm
But I wonder as we're making our feast
Bm A G
And we watch what they'll do to the ones with the least
D
Is trusting cops like trusting a priest?
D A G
You look to get saved but get fucked or get fleeced
[Chorus]
Bm G
In an ivory tower I heard a critique
D A
About how they should respond, "they should protest in peace"
Bm G
But to admonish don't you already have to believe
D A
In a system that would intervene
Bm G
From an ivory tower I hear the critique
D A
"They should protest in peace"
Bm G
To be honest it's getting pretty hard to believe
D A
In a system that won't intervene
Bm G A
On behalf of a few and not a greedy machine
[Outro]
D A
G
A greedy machine
D A G
D A G
Season's greetings, season's greetings, season's greetings from Ferguson
D A G
They'd do to you, they'd do to me, they'd do to us what they did to them
D A G
Season's greetings, season's greetings, season's greetings from Ferguson
D A G
They'd do to you, they'd do to me, they'd do to us what they did to them
D A G
Season's greetings, season's greetings, season's greetings from Ferguson
D A G
They'd do to you, if you'd let them do to me, if you let them do to us what they did to them
