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

F#mAmen
DAmen
AAmen
EAmen
AAmen

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

F#mAmen
DAmen
AAmen
EAmen
AAmen

     DWith hands held high into a sky so blue
       A                 EAs the ocean opens up to swallow you (x6)
