[Verse 1]
           F#m
Now, I'm a dead end soldier in a dead end job
     F#m
In a dare down world where they treat me like a yob
      F#m
I'm a fighter but you know I'm at the last round
      F#m
I was quick on my feet but now I'm slow and steady to the ground

F#m
Propaganda like the sea where they live
           F#m
They give fuck all to those beneath the six
    F#m
I'm starting to feel like free speech means nothing
             F#m
'Cause we're fucking screaming and no one's even listening

[Chorus]
 G
(Don't)
G
Don't be a slave to the system
 F#
(Won't)
           F#
I won't be coming back to Britain
G
Watch my decline
G
I'm running out of time
F#
Before the heartless government
F#
Try to take what's mine

[Chorus]
 G
(Don't)
G
Don't be a slave to the system
 F#
(Won't)
           F#
I won't be coming back to Britain
G
Watch my decline
G
I'm running out of time
F#
Before the heartless government
F#
Try to take what's mine

[Verse]
F#m
Travesty, liberty, what's that?
F#m
Out in London kissing Daddy's money flat
  F#m
I heard he worked in some sort of advertisement
F#m
You're the next product of your environment

F#m
Unforgotten, like the rotten plan for the future
F#m
Wrapped in cotton, who's my shot in, damned for my posture
    F#m
I'm not a posh one, yeah I'm still a lost one
           F#m
And if you want I'll sell my rust for your retina

[Chorus]
 G
(Don't)
G
Don't be a slave to the system
 F#
(Won't)
           F#
I won't be coming back to Britain
G
Watch my decline
G
I'm running out of time
F#
Before the heartless government
F#
Try to take what's mine

[Outro]
B G A
