lyrics

Turned To Stone

[F][Am][G] x2
[F]I looked u[Am]pon a strange re[G]flection
[F]Drones were [Am]buzzing in the [G]sky
[F]People [Am]scattered all [G]directions
But the [Dm]innocent were [G]not afraid to [A]die

[F]The CE[Am]O gets his [G]millions
[F]Gleaming [Am]towers turn to [G]rust
When the [F]factories were [Am]gone
The [C]people carried [G]on
But [Dm]city fell a[G]part and turned to [D]dust

------------ CHORUS --------------------------------------
Wouldn’t you [A]know[G]
That’s how the [D]story goes
The [A]corporations [G]win
And the [D]people don’t
There’s a [A]lesson to be [G]learned
While [A]babies cry and [G]burn
But your [A]generation [G]turned
Turned to [D]stone
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
[F]I read about the [Am]man in the White house [G]bubble
[F]Sacchar[Am]in and sancti[G]fied
Well the [F]man has lost his [Am]nerve
So he [C]fiddles while Rome [G]burns
And He [Dm]takes away your [G]freedom and your [D]rights

(CHORUS)

(Lead Break)
