C
So while the sun and sky dissolve with progress
F G F G
We look for ways to feed our families
C
Here's another strip mall for the hungry tourists
F
A discord in the purest harmony
G
(Best made plans are burning down)
F G
(The have's still keep the have-nots down)
[Chorus]
F Dm
Because the violent crimes and violent times
C G
Will make a city much harder to live in
F Dm
Because they're taking up arms and sounding alarms
C G
And we still try to carve out a living
[Verse]
C
Yeah, let them tax the air and buy the water
F
Sell the silence but all the art is free
G
(Best made plans are burning down)
F G
(The have's still keep the have-nots down)
C
Well, we work for nothing to scratch that itch
F
Let the starving eat the rich, that's fine with me
G
(Best made plans are burning down)
F G
(The have's still keep the have-nots down)
[Chorus]
F Dm
Because the violent crimes and violent times
C G
Will make a city much harder to live in
F Dm
Because they're taking up arms and sounding alarms
C G
And we still try to carve out a living
[Bridge]
Dm
How did it fall?
C G
How did it come to this?
Dm
How did it fall?
C G
How did it come to this?
[Chorus]
F Dm
Because the violent crimes and violent times
C G
Will make a city much harder to live in
F Dm
Because they're taking up arms and sounding alarms
C G
And we still try to carve out a living
Dm
Because the violent crimes and violent times
C G
Will make a city much harder to live in
Dm
Because they're taking up arms and sounding alarms
C G
And we still try to carve out a living
Dm
How did it fall?
C G
How did it come to this?
Dm
How did it fall?
C G
How did it come to this?
Dm
How did it fall?
C G
How did it come to this?
