Petroleum Distillation

A             D                  E     D
Been having a hard time trying to justify
A           D              E         D
The clouds arising from the cars we drive
A                D                 E                 D
And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today
A                 D                     E                 D            A D E D
And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world waste away

[Verse 2]
A             D                   E          D
Been having a hard time trying to accept the fact
A                D                     E         D
Paying money for four walls leaves the slavery intact
A                D                 E                 D
And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today
A                 D                     E                 D            A D E D
And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world slip away

[Chorus]
A         G#              F#m   D                    A
I know, I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery
          G#              F#m   D                    A
I know, I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery
          G#              F#m   D                    A G# F#m     D
I know, I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery,  slavery

[Verse 3]
A                   D                     E                  D
Costs two dollars a minute and additional charges to pray to god today
A             D                                 E                              D
See I've been looking for some guidance but the voice on the phone ain't got a damn thing to say
A                D                 E                 D
And a little too easy seems just a little too hard today
A                 D                     E                 D            A D E D
And I'm afraid my children are going to have to watch the world fade away

[Verse 4]
A                   D               E                   D
I was born a little too late to see the dream that they called America
A                  D                      E                        D
See I only want to be a free man but it's against the law to sleep on the ground in god's land
A                D                 E            D
And a little too easy seems just a little bit insane
A                  D                        E                 D                   A  D E D
And I'm afraid I'm gonna have to run for my life one of these days, one of these days

[Chorus]
A         G#              F#m   D                    A
I know, I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery
          G#              F#m   D                    A
I know, I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery
          G#              F#m   D                    A G# F#m     D
I know, I know, I know, I know, life has become slavery,  slavery

A C# F#m E D

A   C#          F#m        E       D
The earth is my body, it's been poisoned with lead and junk food and toxic waste
A   C#        F#m            E            D
The sky is my mind it's been clouded with cigarettes and fluorocarbons and petroleum distillates
A   C#         F#m              E           D
The water's my heart, it's been broken with booze and drugs and shooting up paste
A   C#        F#m          E        D                                     A C# F#m E D
The sun is my spirit, it belongs to all of us, I guess we're all one sick race

A G# F#m E D

[Outro]
    A     C#       F#m    E     D
And autonomy shall reward itself with freedom
      A   C#       F#m    E     D
And humility shall reward itself with peace
        A    C#     F#m   E               D
And the dissolution of possession and the integration of humanity
A           C#      F#m     E      D
Shall bring forth a sharing of our responsibility
        A C# F#m E D
For our lives
        A C# F#m E D
And our earth
        A C# F#m E D
For our lives
        A C# F#m E D A
And our earth
