[Verse 1]
Em D C Gather round and listen and I'll tell you how's it's done Em C D How they manage to make idiots out of everyone Em D C Take a human population with their hunger and their pain Em C D And the weaknesses that cripple them again and again
Em D Em D
[Verse 2]
Em D C Invent a splendid party where their dreams can be won Em C D And with bright flashing lights, the heartaches are gone Em D C With sex and with money and with everything for free Em C D Then show tantalising glimpses every night on TV
[Pre-chorus 1]
F#m G Watch the dirty hands that laboured hard for you F#m G Stretching out like children for a crumb that they can chew F#m G Give a car and video and a little bit to spare Bm C# And go on promising that more could all be theirs
[Chorus]
Em D All lies, all lies, all schemes all schemes D A Every winner means a loser in the western dream Em D All lies, all lies, all schemes all schemes D A Every winner means a loser in the western dream

[Verse 3]
Em D C The producer swears silently it cannot be heard Em C D And the camera crew are muttering those four letter words Em D C Another take is needed so the show can go on Em C C With a patronising smile and a popular song
[Pre-chorus 2]
F#m G They tell you when to laugh, they tell you when to cheer F#m G So the audience at home will get the right idea F#m G They watch like children left out of a playground gang Bm C# Conforming their lives the way they hope will get them in
[Chorus]
Em D All lies, all lies, all schemes all schemes D A Every winner means a loser in the western dream Em D All lies, all lies, all schemes all schemes D A Every winner means a loser in the western dream

[Verse 4]
Em D C It seems to me sometimes there's only two ways to choose Em C D In this whirlpool made of a thousands years Em D C Either live in these ghettos and know your place Em C D Or you trample over everyone in the human race
[Pre-chorus 3]
F#m G I wish we could find another way to go F#m G Without the Ghost of Cain in everything we do F#m G The bitterness in failure and the dirt in success Bm C# This is the choice, this is the choice
[Chorus]
Em D All lies, all lies, all schemes all schemes D A Every winner means a loser in the western dream Em D All lies, all lies, all schemes all schemes D A Every winner means a loser in the western dream Em D All lies, all lies, all schemes all schemes D A Every winner means a loser in the western dream Em D All lies, all lies, all schemes all schemes D A Every winner means a loser in the western dream
