Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

If we´re told we´re an asset

Why are we treated like a problem

 And if you break our dreams

Do our hearts not go to sleep

 Like a dump for broken dreams

 Is how this country seems

Splinters of dreams

 So it feels

If we´re always discouraged

If time for us can't be afforded

 If an open heart gets crushed down

What then is rewarded

 In this worl inside a jar

 Our jobs are all we are

You are like a ghost

 If you have none

 When they say we have no use

 They must be deaf and blind

 Why should we take abuse

 I pay no mind

 If everything´s perfunctory

Only made half-heartedly

 If all is done by default

What is done from the heart

 Like a dump for broken dreams

 Is how this country seems

Splinters of dreams

 So it feels

 How come no one sees

 We´re just categories

We live and die

 By rank
