G
[Verse]
G
There are tears rolling down my front and back
Em
There are mirrors holding up a one-eyed jack
D
There’s a hurricane swinging at a lowly shack
C G
In two-tousand seventeen
[Verse]
G
There’s a compass lost on the open sea
Em
Another shooter in my community
D
There’s a steady stream of insanity
C G
In two-tousand seventeen
[Verse]
G
There’s a dog with a nuclear bomb in his mouth
Em
Hey, old white man, meet the brave new south
D
Don’t it just make you want to scream and shout
C G
In two-tousand seventeen
[Verse]
G
TV is as busy as a can of bait
Em
Point and click and get it now, you never have have to stop and wait
D
But your airplane is going to be a little late
C G
In two-tousand seventeen
[Verse]
G
My eyes and my ears and my senses are tired
Em
Everybody’s scared, everybody’s inspired
D
The world is under water and it’s also on fire
C G
In two-tousand seventeen
[Chorus]
C
So, Great America
G D
Come on, come on, come on
C
We were made in histeria
G D
There is litter on your lawn
C
If it’s smoking while you’re sleaping
G D
There’ll be fire in the dawn
C
Come on, America
D C G
Come on, come on, come on
[Verse]
G
You talk like this but you live like that
Em
It says “go back home” on your welcome mat
D
Did someone really say that the world is flat
C G
In two-tousand seventeen
[Verse]
G
There’s constant unchecked brutality
Em
Brave man takes a stand by dropping to his knee
D
I’ll try to understand you, try to understand me
C G Em D
In two-tousand seventeen
C G
Two-tousand seventeen
