[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
       G
Bang, bang, knockin' on my door
               Em
Do you have a dollar?
Would you like to fund a war?
                     Am
What's your carbon footprint
and could you be doing more?
           D
I'd tried saving the world
but then I got bored
            G
Ca-ching, ching,
what you wanna do?
               Em
Make a lot of money,
buy a house in Malibu
                 Am
Show me if it's funny,
if it's not, you don't need to
           D
I'd tried picking a cause
but I got confused

[Chorus]
CM7
How can you sing about love
                       GM7
when the kids are all dying?
CM7
How can you sing about drugs?
                GM7
Politicians are lying
Am
How can you sing about ***
           B7           Em
when the school is on lockdown,
     A7
lockdown?
Now, baby, maybe we're next
              D   C
Maybe we're next

[Verse 2]
         G
So shut up, the internet is mad
                      Em
They say you're problematic
and you better take it back
                        Am
There's nothing you can do
that people won't misunderstand
            D
They won't feel any better
'til you feel bad
          G
And good God, we never
catch a break
                   Em
Whatever's on the news, the
other side will call it fake
                   Am
I wish I was the Queen, I'd tell
'em all to eat their cake
       D
Maybe humankind was just
God's mistake

[Chorus]
CM7
How can you sing about love
                       GM7
when the kids are all dying?
CM7
How can you sing about drugs?
                 GM7
Politicians are lying
Am
How can you sing about *** when
      B7           Em
the school is on lockdown,
     A7
lockdown?

Now, baby, maybe we're next
              D   C
Maybe we're next

[Bridge]
   Em
I know my pool is heated
         B/Eb
Business class is where
I'm seated
          D
And I'm whiter than the
               A/C#
ivory on these keys
             C
I think too much about myself
          Am
Drink my wallet and
drive my wealth
     A7           D
But enough about me

[Outro]
       G
Bang, bang, knockin' on my door
               Em
Do you have a dollar?
Would you like to fund a war?
                     Am
What's your carbon footprint
and could you be doing more?
           D
I'd tried saving the world
but then I got bored
