ATurn (x02220@1)my mic up louder, I got to say something
Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in
F#mFeel (244222@1)it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
People on the street then panic and start running
DWords (xx0232@1)on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
AHealing (x02220@1)the blind, I promise to let the sun in
ESick (022100@1)of the dark ways we march to the drumming
AJump (x02220@1)when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
F#mList (244222@1)something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for
D'Cause (xx0232@1)I'm sick of being treated like I had before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
ALike (x02220@1)this war's really just a different brand of war
ELike (022100@1)it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
ALike (x02220@1)they understand you, in the back of their jet
When you can't put gas in your tank, these fuckers
F#mAre (244222@1)laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
DFor (xx0232@1)a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
AAnd (x02220@1)the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
EIn (022100@1)the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"

F#mAmen (244222@1)DAmen (xx0232@1)AAmen (x02220@1)EAmen (022100@1)AAmen (x02220@1)
AIn (x02220@1)my living room watching it, I am not laughing
'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen
F#mThe (244222@1)world is cold, the bold men take action
Have to react to get blown into fractions
DAt (xx0232@1)10 years old, it's something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep
ATaken (x02220@1)and bound and found later under a tree
EI (022100@1)wonder if he had thought 'the next one could be me'
ADo (x02220@1)you see the soldiers that are out today?
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
F#mIt's (244222@1)ironic, at times like this you'd pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
DThere's (xx0232@1)bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes
AMy (x02220@1)dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know
EBut (022100@1)enough pride inside not to let that show
AMy (x02220@1)brother had a book he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine on the back
F#mHe (244222@1)hand-wrote a quote inside,
"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
DMeanwhile, (xx0232@1)the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
AThe (x02220@1)rest of the world watching at the end of the day
EBoth (022100@1)scared and angry, like "What did he say?"

F#mAmen (244222@1)DAmen (xx0232@1)AAmen (x02220@1)EAmen (022100@1)AAmen (x02220@1)
DWith (xx0232@1)hands held high into a sky so blue
       A (x02220@1)               EAs (022100@1)the ocean opens up to swallow you (x6)
