[Verse 1]

Bm
Did this one get under your skin?
Bm                     A  G
Seasons Greetings from Ferguson
D
Did you see the shape his momma was in?
D                                     A           G
When you can't build you burn can you call that a sin?

[Chorus]

Bm                    G
From an ivory tower I hear the critique
D                                          A
About how they should respond, "they should protest in peace"
Bm                                G
But to admonish don't you already have to believe
D                      A
In a system that would intervene
Bm             G             A      
On behalf of a few not for a greedy machine?

Repeat intro

[Verse 2]

Bm
Thank god it didn't happen to me
Bm                                 A      G
I can watch from by Black Friday discount TV
D
And carve up the bird and give thanks
D                                     A           G
That they won't come for us cause we paid for the tanks

Bm
But I wonder as we're making our feast
Bm                                  A             G
And we watch what they'll do to the ones with the least
D
Is trusting cops like trusting a priest?
D                              A            G
You look to get saved but get fucked or get fleeced

[Chorus]

Bm                    G
In an ivory tower I heard a critique
D                                          A
About how they should respond, "they should protest in peace"
Bm                                G
But to admonish don't you already have to believe
D                      A
In a system that would intervene


Bm                    G
From an ivory tower I hear the critique
D                        A
"They should protest in peace"
Bm                                G
To be honest it's getting pretty hard to believe
D                      A
In a system that won't intervene
Bm             G              A      
On behalf of a few and not a greedy machine

Season's greetings, season's greetings, season's greetings from Ferguson
D                                                            A     G
They'd do to you, they'd do to me, they'd do to us what they did to them

D                                                               A  G

Season's greetings, season's greetings, season's greetings from Ferguson
D                                                                                 A     G
They'd do to you, if you'd let them do to me, if you let them do to us what they did to them
