[Verse 1]
F#m B
Pressure building for awhile (from)
A
Both sides of the aisle (it’s)
B
Like choosin’ scum from bile
F#m B
Fed the fury from the crowds (all)
A B
Slanderous and loud (some) Ignorant and proud
F#m B
Divide and conquer was the vow (but)
A B
Look who’s laughin’ now (that) You proved to be a coward
F#m B A B
Nepotism is the shroud, but it's all what we've allowed
[Chorus]

To see who really is the vampire...
[Verse 2]
F#m B
Fooled the people with a smile (yet)
A
A crooked smile (though)
B
Quickly turned to scowls
F#m B
Build a wall, we’ll tear it down (yea!)
A
Simply go around (we)
B
Don’t think you’ll be around
F#m B
The future’s bigger than your fist (it’s)
A
Too big to resist (if)
B
You’d like we’ll show you this
C#m B
It’s hard to think about it now ‘cause
A B
It’s all what we’ve allowed
[Chorus]

[Young James]
F#5
I chugged a bottle of wine
F#5
In the nick of time
F#5
Opened up my eyes went blind
Cause all the leaders be committin’ crimes
E5
It’s been the ugliest thing you could envision
Now they’re preaching hate through microphones and some of us decide to listen
A5
They got the means and persistence to keep us all bitchin
Spend a couple trillion ‘til everyone can see the vision
B5
I don’t see the point in livin’ you don’t see the bigger picture
Shouldn’t be a cost for freedom some of them are getting’ richer
F#5
So yes sir it’s been all about the money
A5 E5
But I probably sound funny cause you know I ain’t got none of it
F#5
But I don’t give a shit
Light a spliff and take a hit
A5 E5
Oppression is a mindset it’s time to just get over it
F#5
This a paradigm shift, this a blunt of fine shit
A5 E5
I been off the wagon carry baggage cause my minds sick
F#5
You gon’ be fine kid but I lost hope so long ago
A5 E5
My dream is chasing me so I keep running cause it’s all I know
[Chorus]
N.C.
Dollar saved, squalor earned
N.C.
The dregs of this earth
N.C.
Will rise up against the empire
N.C.
All it takes is a turn
N.C.
A turn for the worst
To see who really is the vampire...
C#m F#m
Dollar saved, squalor earned
B
The dregs of this earth
B
Will rise up against the empire
C#m F#m
All it takes is a turn,
B
A turn for the worst
B
To see who really is the vampire...
