Rythm 1: (2x)

E C

(w/ rythm 1)

Desolate and without purpose

Radiating from so many septic sources

Forming the fabric of a wayward people

Disappearing as the vestiges of our past

Scratched like tartan into virgin soil

A substrate for progress and disarray

A spreading network of broken dreams

Searching for a thoroughfare to take us away

(chorus rythm)

E B C D A

Just a little tale from the streets of America

E B C D A

Sparkled promises paved with pathos and hysteria

E G D

Trenchant, weary native sons

E B C A D

Step back, step back and see the damage done

C G D C D

Meander to the horizon, the streets of America

(w/ rythm 1 but w/o the Intro)

Black, tarred concrete, pine for me

Lying dormant for you and your country

Hardened surface cracked within

Catch the sweat from off of the chin

Of men and women, senior and child

Who look to you and your sterile miles

And in there stares is bald dismay

For what you promised led them astray

(w/ chorus rythm)

Just a little tale from the streets of America

Sparkled promises paved with pathos and hysteria

Trenchant, weary native sons

Step back, step back and see the damage done

Meander to the horizon, the streets of America

C G D E

Hard-cracked, daunting, lifeless veins

C G D C D E

False hope corridors to greener pastures is all that remains
