C {2x}
C                     Am
I watch my generation die
C                            Am
I watch the heads of nations lie
F                           Fm
I watch the homeless on the streets
C                          G
I stand here helpless just lookin' at my feet

C                        Am
I watch the children run away
C                                Am
The bullets fly where they would play
F                     Fm
I watch a junkie fade away
C                           G
I ain't got an answer but I sure got things to say

{CHORUS-1:}
            C                   Am
        Hey Hey, I gotta find a way
                          C                   Am
        Cause the road is dark gotta light my way

        Gotta fight the fear in my heart
              C              G              F        C
        Oh, I pray I live to see a brighter day, hey hey

C                         Am
I watch the old folks sit alone
C                                Am
They talk to ghosts they used to know
F                             Fm
Where are the wise men of the tribe
C                              G
Where are the midwives and the newborn's cry, yeah

C                                 Am
I wish that I could I'd turn back time
C                                   Am
Way back before there was corporate crime
F                                Fm
We'd fight the wind to plant our seed
C                                          G
When the earth was stronger than the human greed

C                                Em
I'm not tryin' to tell ya what's right or wrong
Bb                    F
 I'm not trying to be clever
Fm                        C
You gotta hope things get better

Even when they never...hey, hey, hey, hey
