Primeiro acorde: G 8 acordes identificados

G C G

I was born and raised an orphan In a land that once was free

You are far across the ocean In a war that's not your own

Bm Am D

In a land that poured it's love out on the moon

And whilst you're winning theirs You're gonna lose the one at home

G C G

And I grew up in the shadows Of your silos filled with grain

Do you really think the only way To bring about the peace

Bm C G

But you never helped to fill my empty spoon

Is to sacrifice your children And kill all your enemies

G C G

And when I was ten you murdered law With courtroom politics

The politicians all make speeches While the news men all take note

Bm Am D G

And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth But I know you better now ed

And they exagerate the issues As they shove it down our throats

C G

And I don't fall for all your tricks

Is it really up to them Whether this country sinks or floats

Bm C G

And you've lost the one advantage of my youth

And I wonder who would lead us If none of us would vote

G C G

You kill a black man at midnight Just for talking to your daughter

Well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped From whispering through the fence

Bm Am D

Then you make his wife your mistress And you leave her without water

You know every move I make Or is that just coincidence

G C G

And the sheet you wear upon your face Is the sheet your children sleep on

Well you try to make my way of life A little less like jail

Bm Am D (Dsus4)

And every meal you say a prayer You don't believe but still you keep on

If I promise to make tapes and slides And send them through the mail

[Refrão]C Csus D G C Csus D G

And your money says 'In God We Trust' But it's against the law to pray in

school

C Csus D G C Csus D G

You say we beat the Russians to the moon And I say you starved your children

to do it

(final)

C Csus D C C Csus D G

You say 'all men are equal all men are brothers Then why are the rich more

equal than others

C Csus A D G

Don't ask me for the answer I've only got one

C Csus D G

That a man leaves his darkness when he fol lows the Son
