Verse 1:
D                 A              D                A
The status of our future in both past and present time,
       D          A           E~
Is relegated to a member of a higher class than mine
     D              A                D              A
To determine and direct the lives of family men who bear the burden
   D            A                     E
Of living up to standard that doesn't exist in 1999

Chorus 1:
A           D                 A             E
Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line,
A           D          G-D   A                    E
10 years of service, but I'm still not worth your time

Verse 2:
D            A                  D             A
Times may be changing, but I'll never leave behind
              D                  A               E~
The hopes and thoughts I have of better days for families such as mine
           D         A                 D                A
Because if history repeats itself, and time will surely tell
          D              A                       E~
What goes around's gonna come around, and you'll know our pain too well

Chorus 2:
 A           D                 A             E
Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line,
A           D          G-D   A                    E
10 years of service, but I'm still not worth your time,
              A               D                   A                 E
And I've seen men give their lives, and heard the stories that they tell
            A                D    G-D      A                 E
Of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul to hell...

Bridge:
D~                E~             A~         D    A
The status of our future in both past and present time,
       D~         E~          A~           D    A
Is relegated to a member of a higher class than mine
     D~             E~               A~         D   A
To determine and direct the lives of family men who bear the burden
   D~           E~                    A~        D E
Of living up to standard that doesn't exist in 1999
