Verse

C                                         Am
They're dropping more bombs in the Middle East
F                       C
In my name will it ever stop?
C                        Am
Do I have a voice, do we even have a choice?
F                             C
Could hell be any worse I ask God?

Chorus

        F
So I'll stomp my feet
         C
And I'll march in the street
       G                          C
Take a bullet in the head for the cause
     F                            C
'Cus futility is the only voice I have
   G                           C
At least it's my voice til I'm gone

Verse

C                                       Am
It doesn't matter what they do, all the lies and untruths
F                            C
Excuses from every hole they have
C                     Am
Maybe you are evil, deluded or deceived
F                                C
Doesn't matter in the end if you win

Chorus

        F
So I'll stomp my feet
         C
And I'll march in the street
       G                          C
Take a bullet in the head for the cause
     F                            C
'Cus futility is the only voice I have
   G                           C
At least it's my voice til I'm gone

Verse

C                               Am
They say if we rise up, well we got the numbers
F                               C
But then again we gotta pay our bills
C                              Am
We struggle and toil through a thousand paper cuts
F                             C
The Gloaming, the Existential Dread

Chorus

        F
So I'll stomp my feet
         C
And I'll march in the street
       G                          C
Take a bullet in the head for the cause
     F                            C
'Cus futility is the only voice I have
   G                           C
At least it's my voice til I'm gone
