The wage he's paid's insanity
[Em]Every day he's dealing with a [A]new calamity[G]calamity
Lost his [Em]old occupation
 
But it wasn't immigration
[Em]It was a machine, autom[A]automation that repla[G]replaced him

[Em]Can't afford his medicine he [A]took for his agg[G]aggression
He [Em]needs help, relying on this system that rejects him
[Em]Took away his benefits, but [A]left him with his [G]weapon
Bought a [Em]one way ticket

king will make a [G]difference like:
