Intro:
Em, G, A, C, D
First Verse:
C G
Here we are, looks like we're going nowhere
A Em
no one ever listens if you never seem to care.
C G
It’s what they want, try to keep you in a box like a
A Em
disassembled toy, like a peasant in the stocks.
C G
You always feel like the last one in line,
A Em
no one forwarded the memo, no one made you read the signs.
C G
You want to scream, want to show you’re more than clever
A A
If you never speak up, things will be like this forever
C, A, F, D
Chorus:
Em G
So get in line, speak your mind,
A C
won’t you join the conversation?
D Em G
Lay it down, make a sound,
A C
you don’t need an invitation.

So get a pair and drive us there,
A C
you can choose our destination.
D Em G
Toe the line, get it signed,
A C D
you can join the conversation.

Second Verse:
C G A
You come along like you’re told, like a member of the fold,
Em
and then you end up being sold.
C G
They try to tell you not to wander from the hive
A Em
You think you take a chance and they’ll devour you alive.
C G
No one ever got ahead by staying hidden,
A Em
You know the fruit tasted better when it was forbidden.
C G
Now you’re sitting on the ground. You know you’re star-bound
A A
If you want to make it happen then you got to make a sound.
C, A, F, D
