      E7
I was talking about the state of the union

            E7
How there's no one now in power who's thinking of me

      E7
I was thinking how we ought to try to fix it

       E7
Find a leader who is not afraid to be
[Chorus]
       G            D/F#       Em        Em/D
Then a voice called out in the darkness

        Bb           F/A    Gm
Saying,    "Tear the system down"

C7
Oh, tear it

|E7      |  %  |  %  |  %  |
down
[Verse #2]
      E7
I was thinking about how that was very crazy

      E7
And I tried to find a way to tell him so

           E7
But when I did, I used a word that was quite nasty

        E7
How the policeman heard me, man, I'll never know
[Chorus]
       G        D/F#                Em        Em/D
Then a voice called from out in the darkness

        Bb           F/A    Gm
Saying,    "Tear the system down"

C7
Oh, tear it

E7
down   down to the gond   oooo
[Instrumental on:] A7 end of solo: |E7 | % | % | % | |E7 | % | % | % | [Verse #3]
      E7
I was wrestled off to one side of the theater

          E7
And they said I'd have to go right to the jail

           E7
They don't permit coarse language in their city

         E7
But they did accept a large amount of bail
Chorus]
       G        D/F#                Em        Em/D

Saying,    "Tear the system down"

C7
Oh, tear it

E7                E7
down  down to the ground

        E7
