                          A             Bm
Watch what you say, don't use the wrong word
G                   D
That spell you cast,
      A               Bm
don't let it be your last
G                       D
Don't wanna get tapped
      A             Bm
for improper use of magic
G                 D           A             Bm
  This decree in place, is it really reasonable?


[Chorus]

C                     G               Am
  Cause you got the Trace, the Taboo
          Bm                C
They're always watching you
                     G                        Am
What are they looking for, why are they listening?
         Bm             C
I guess privacy's not a wizard thing
                     G                        Am
What are they looking for, why are they listening?
         Bm                        F
Why they worried so much about wizard teens?

[Verse 2]
            G                D         Em
In times of peace, it seems like overreach
C               G             D             Em
  And opens the door to misuse in times of war
C                G             D          Em
  If you say his name, it puts you on the map
C                G         D                   Bm       C
  So be ready to fight, or else you might get snatched


[Chorus]

C                   G                Am
  Cause you got the Trace, the Taboo
          Bm             C
They're always watching you
                    G                                 Am
I know what they're looking for, I know why they're listening
          Bm                          C
Breeding fear and mistrust is part of their thing
                     G                                 Am
I know what they're looking for, I know why they're listening
       Bm                         C
It's a police state meant to subjugate


[Outro]
                             G     C
We know what they're looking for
                          G    C
We know why they're listening
                         Bm     C
We know what they're looking for
                        G    Em
We know why they're listening
                          G      C
We know what they're looking for
                          G     C
We know why they're listening
                         Bm     C
We know what they're looking for
                    B             Em D
Maybe someday we'll fix this thing
