xintro Am7 Am D In a weapons producing nation under Jesus Am D In the fabled crucible of the free world Am D Camera crews search for clues amid the detritus F And entertainment shapes the land C#m The way the hammer shapes the hand Am D Gleaming faces in the checkout counter at the Church of Fame Am D The lucky winners cheer Casino Nation Am D All those not on TV only have themselves to blame F And don't quite seem to understand C#m The way the hammer shapes the hand F Out beyond the ethernet the spectrum spreads D Am DC to daylight, the cowboy mogul rides F Never worry where the gold for all this glory's gonna come from D Am Get along dogies, it's coming out of your hides Am D The intentional cultivation of a criminal class Am D The future lit by brightly burning bridges Am D Justice fully clothed to hide the heart of glass Am D That shatters in a thousand Ruby Ridges Am D And everywhere the good prepare for perpetual war F And let their weapons shape the plan C#m The way the hammer shapes the hand F C#m F C#m
