[Intro]
| F | F | F | F |
[Verse 1]
F A7 Dm Dm/C Bb
Dangerous dreams have been detected
F Bb F F
Streaming over the Southern border
F A7 Dm Dm/C Bb
As bad as it seems, it's worse than expected
F Bb F F
Fleeing through the night corridor
[Chorus]
Am Bb
Oh, I’ve done the math
Dm Dm/C Bb
With a stick in the sand
Am Gm7 C C
I've kicked the can into a dead end
Dm Am
Oh, I can't mend
Bb F
Every broken fence
Bb F Bb Bb
I’m a new man but I am still my mother
[Verse 2]
F A7 Dm Dm/C Bb
If it was up to me, I would have rejected
F Bb F F
The idea that money could keep you poor
F A7 Dm Dm/C Bb
And as dark as it seems, it's worse than neglected
F Bb F F
When you need the one who loves no more
[Chorus]
Am Bb
Oh, I’ve done the math
Dm Dm/C Bb
With a stick in the sand
Am Gm7 C C
I've kicked the can into a dead end
Dm Am
Oh, I can't mend
Bb F
Every broken fence
Bb F Bb Bb F
I’m a new man but I am still my mother
