A A/G# F#m D A E A
Turn my Amic up louder, I got to say somethin'
Lightweights steppin' aA/G#side when we come in
F#mFeel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
People on the street then pF#m/Eanic and start running
DWords on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
I jump in my mind, I summon D/Ethe rhyme I'm dumping
AHealing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
ESick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
AJump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that, I wanna sA/Eee some fists pumping
F#mList something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might aF#m/Ettack you for
'Cause I'm sDick of being treated like I had before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm sD/Etanding for
Like this Awar's really just a different brand of war
Like it dEoesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
Like they F#munderstand you, in the back of their jet
When you Dcan't put gas in your tank, these fuckers
Are lAaughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
Asking Eyou to have the passion and have some respect
For a lF#meader so nervous in an obvious way
StutteDring and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rAest of the world watching at the end of the day
In the Eliving room, laughing like, "What did he say?"
AF#mmen

AAmen
In my lAiving room watching but I am not laughing
'Cause when it gets tense, I A/Eknow what might happen
The F#mworld is cold, the bold men take action
Have to react to get F#m/Eblown into fractions
D 10 years old, it's something to see
Another kid my age drugged D/Eunder a Jeep
TakenA and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder Eif he had thought 'the next one could be me'
Do you Asee the soldiers that are out today?
They brush the dust from bulletproof A/Evests away
It's irF#monic, at times like this you'd pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up F#m/Eyesterday
There's bDombs on the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your D/Eshops, and your clothes
My Adad, he's got a lot of fear, I know
But enEough pride inside not to let that show
My F#mbrother had a book he would hold with pride
A Dlittle red cover with a broken spine
on the bAack, he hand-wrote a quote inside,
"WhenE the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
MeanF#mwhile, the leader just talks away
StutteDring and mumbling for nightly news to replay
The Arest of the world watching at the end of the day
Both Escared and angry, like "What did he say?"
AF#mmen
ADmen
AAmen
AEmen
AAmen
With F#mhands held high into a Dsky so blue
As the Aocean opens up to Eswallow you (x6)
