[verse 1]
 
            E                      G
So tell me family now what do you think? 
 
                C                    A
Watch it all go down the great big sink,
 
               E                   G
watch how the scum it rises to the top.
 
            C                         A
Don't you wonder when it's all gonna stop? 
 
           E                 G
Sometimes I wonder how we do sleep,
 
              C                  A
 serving the dodgy companies we keep.
 
                   E                           G
All kicking and scrounging for the very first place 
 
                C                A
- dictionary defintion of a rat race.
 
                E                 G
Pay off those losers we elect to lead. 
 
                   C                          A
stealing from the mouths that we're meant to feed. 
 
                E                   G
Enslaving the very clothes upon my back,
 
             C                      A
 I feel the sting but I hear no crack, no crack, I'm sayin..
 
 
 
 
[Chorus]
C                     G
Running through the fire,
 
                     C
running through the flame,
 
                     G
Running through the hatred,
 
                    C
pushing through the blame, 
 
                     G                 D
running through the hopelessness and shame, 
 
                     C
Revolution already underway
 
 
[Verse 2]
            E                      G
Big heavy pirates man digging those holes,
 
                C                    A
 messing with something that they can't control.
 
            E                      G
Trespassing lands where they don't belong,
 
                C                    A
 all I hear is screaming whee there once were songs.
 
             E                      G
I got my brothers there fighting those wars,
 
                C                    A
 fighting over scraps and scraping their sores. 
 
            E                      G
Under a blanket of a fire and pride that can't keep us warm for the cold 
inside, inside,
 
 C
I'm saying
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
C                     G
Running through the fire,
 
                     C
running through the flame,
 
                     G
Running through the hatred,
 
                    C
pushing through the blame, 
 
                     G                 D
running through the hopelessness and shame, 
 
                     C
Revolution already underway
 
 
 
[verse 3]
            E                      G
So tell me when you think we're gonna rise?
 
                C                    A
Wake from this slumber wipe the tears from our eyes? 
 
            E                      G
Yes from this nightmare yes I must now wake,
 
       C                    A
 open my fist my destiny I take! 
 
            E                      G
Good people sick and tired of being pushed around,
 
              C                    A
 we call them kings but I see no crown. 
 
            E                      G
Tell me when you think we'll just stand up? 
 
                C                    A
Say enough is enough is enough, enough, I'm saying
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
C                     G
Running through the fire,
 
                     C
running through the flame,
 
                     G
Running through the hatred,
 
                    C
pushing through the blame, 
 
                     G                 D
running through the hopelessness and shame, 
 
                     C
Revolution already underway
