But I know with determination,

D                       A                       E
We can challenge the schemers who cheat all the rules.
[Bridge]
          C#     D     D#       E            A
C’mon and take pride, be wise spottin' the fools,

C#         D         E           A
Big shots, crackpots bendin' the rules,

  C#     D   D#    E    E          A
A fair shot here for me and for you,

Knowin' that we can't lose.
