[Verse 1]
C                   G       F
All my friends are witches and
            E
we live in Hollywood
C         G        F
Mystical bitches making our
      E
own sisterhood
G           Dm           G
While society is failing we are
     Dm
quietly reforming
C                G
Protecting the planet,
   F             E
healing our own damage
C            G
Quarantined all alone,
 F               E
Mother nature's on the phone
C                     G
"What have you been doing?
  F             E
Don't forget I am your home
G           Dm
Virus come, fires burn
  G           Dm
until human beings learn
C               G
From every disaster,
 F              E
you are not my master"

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Need to purge the poison,
 Am            E
show us our humanity
C                E
All the bad and good,
     Am       E
racism and misogyny
C                G
Nothing's hidden anymore,
   Am       F
capitalism made us poor
C             E
God forgive America
     Am        E
for every single war

[Chorus]
C
Need to purge the poison
         E
from my system
                     F
Until human beings listen
                            E7
Tell me who'd you think you are?
C
It's your own decision
          E
But your home is not your prison
       F
You forgot that without me
            E7
you won't go far

[Post-Chorus]
C
Need to purge the poison
          E
from my system

C                   E
It’s a new world order,
   Am            E
everything just falls away
C                E     Am
Our life as we knew it now

[Bridge]
C                   E
I just want a world where
 Am            E
I can see the feminine
C            E        Am
We only make up one-quarter
         E
of the government
C               G
Like an angel gone to hell
Am              F
Cast the moon under our spell
C               E
Owning female power,
  Am                E
taking back what's ours

[Pre-Chorus 3]
C                 E
Earth is like a white rose
Am               E
Quiet cloud of petals fold
C              E
A place so corrupt where
Am                E
Angel flesh and blood is sold
       C         G
The feminine is born as new
Am              F
Started with a diamond dew
C              E       Am       E
Solitude was coming, everybody knew

[Chorus]
C
Need to purge the poison
         E
from my system
                     F
Until human beings listen
                            E7
Tell me who'd you think you are?
C
It's your own decision
          E
But your home is not your prison
       F
You forgot that without me
            E7
you won't go far

[Outro]
C
Need to purge the poison
          E
from my system
                    F
Until human beings listen
                             E7
Tell me who'd you think you are?
C
It's your own decision
          E
But your home is not your prison
       F
You forgot that without
               E7
me you won't go far
