Verse 1
F#m D E We're biding time as we wait for the signal F#m D E Sharpening blades while we wait out the storm F#m D E These cold nights are almost unbearable A5 B5 F#m But purpose keeps us warm D E Pledge allegiance while crossing our fingers F#m D E A bark with no bite, no teeth, just a roar F#m D E You're not a thorn in our side, you're a splinter A5 B5 E We are ready, but we're bored
Pre-Chorus 1
F#m E D Just holding our place in line A E/G# D And everything moves too slow now F#m D/F# E Breaking away in time
Chorus
F#m And they have the power F#m But we have the numbers now D A E It's all just a constant illusion of control A/C# F#m They break us like horses F#m How long will we drag their plow? D What will continue to be A E Is what we allow A/C# F#m Oh-ooh-oh
Verse 2
F#m And still we worship at altars so empty F#m Consumption of something we don't need at all F#m E Holes we can't fill, a never-ending song E "Again, from the top now"
Pre-Chorus 2
F#m D E Textbook cases we all fit the profile F#m D E Mass surveillance we opened the door F#m Prey on the fears D E The blurred lines of right and wrong A5 B5 D Sped up 'til we can't slow down F#m E D And at this veloci-ty A E/G# D One wrong move and we go down F#m D/F# E Brace for the reckoning
Chorus
F#m And they have the power F#m But we have the numbers now D A E It's all just a constant illusion of control A/C# F#m They break us like horses F#m How long will we drag their plow? D What will continue to be A E Is what we allow A/C# F#m Oh-ooh-oh
Bridge
F#m Heavy are the chains D We fasten to ourselves E Gathering the thorns F#m To shape into a crown F#m Is this saddle comfortable? D Do these reigns feel tight enough? E Will you gallop when you're kicked F#m Or throw the rider off?
Pre-Chorus 3
F#m Are you the willing and the able D Or are you spoken for? E Destined to serve what you abhor F#m Until it all gives out F#m Listen, fuck what you call normal D And this pressure to conform (Break free) E It's your trail to blaze Bsus2 A/C# D E Or your bridge to burn Bsus2 A/C# D E Your bridge to burn

Chorus
F# Yeah, they have the power F#m But we have the numbers now D A E It's all just a constant illusion of control A/C# F#m They break us like horses F#m How long will we drag their plow? D What will continue to be A E Is what we allow A/C# F#m What will we allow?
