Original Key: D Major Time Signature: 4/4 Tempo: 125 Suggested Strumming: DU,DU,DU,DU c h o r d z o n e . o r g [INTRO] D . Em A Hey, kids D Today, we're gonna learn about the world [VERSE] Em A D The world that's around us is pretty amazing Em But how does it work? It must be comp a licated A D The secret is the world can only work D When everything works together Em A D A bee drinks from a flower and leaves with its pollen D Em A squirrel in a tree spreads the seeds that have fallen A D Everything works together [PRE-CHORUS] D Em A The biggest elephant, the littlest fly D Em A The gophers underground, the birds in the sky Bm F# A E And every single cricket, every fish in the sea G E7 A Gives what they can and gets what they need www.chordzone.org [CHORUS] D Bm That is how the world works G A That is how the world works D F# Bm From A to zebra to the worms in the dirt G A D That's how it works Hey, everyone, look who stopped by to say hello! It's Socko! Hey! Where you been, Socko? I've been where I always am when you're not wearing me on your hand: in a frightening, liminal space between states of being! Not quite dead, not quite alive! It's similar to a constant state of sleep paralysis Socko, we were just talking about the world and how it works Boy, that sounds complicated! Do you have anything you'd want to teach us about the world? I wouldn't say anything that you probably haven't already said yourself I don't know about that, Socko. How about you give it a try? Alright! [VERSE] Em A D The simple narrative taught in every history class Em Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist A D Don't you know? The world is built with blood! And genocide and exploitation! Em A D The global network of capital essentially functions D Em To separate the worker from the means of production Em A D And the FBI killed Martin Luther King [PRE-CHORUS] Em A Private property's inherently theft D Em A And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left Bm F# A E And every politician, every cop on the street G E A Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite www.chordzone.org [CHORUS] D That is how the world works (Really?) G That is how the world works Genocide the Natives, say you got to it first That's how it works That's pretty intense No shit! What can I do to help? Read a book or something, I don't know. Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you. It's incredibly exhausting! I'm sorry, Socko. I was just trying to become a better person Why do you rich fucking white people insist on seeing every socio political conflict through the myopic lens of your own self actualization? This isn't about you! So either get with it or get out of the fucking way! Watch your mouth, buddy. Remember who's on whose hand here But that's what I— Have you not been fucking listening? We are entrenched in— Alright! Alright! Wait, wait, wait! No, please! I don't wanna go back, please! I can't go— I can't go back! Please! Please. I'm sorry Are you gonna behave yourself? Yes "Yes," what? Yes, s Look at me Yes, sir That's better [CHORUS] That is how the world works That is how the world works I hope you learned your lesson! (I did, and it hurt!) That's how it works [OUTRO] No! No!
