[Intro] G D/F# Em C C D G G [Verse 1]
  G       D/F#        Em       D
A grizzly scene on my electron beam

       C      G/B        D
Told a story about human rights

   G              D/F#       Em             D
So all the King's horses and all the King's men

      C        G/B          D
Had a riot for two days and nights

          G      D/F#           Em             D
Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open

       C       G/B           D
So the company asked them to quit

    G    D/F#   Em      C
Now everybody's equal

C          D       G
Just don't measure it
G G D/F# Em C C D G G [Verse 2]
      G      D/F#      Em     D
Well, Hanson did it to Hester

    C          G/B       D
And Mark David did it to John

    G          D/F#      Em      D
And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn

       C         G/B       D
But he did it to South Vietnam

    G   D/F#   Em    D
For beauty and glory

    C      G/B       D
For money, love, and country

    G    D/F#   Em    C
Now everybody's doing it

C        D       G
Don't do that to me
G G D/F# Em C C D G G [Verse 3]
  G        D/F#       Em       D
A bitter debate and a feminine fate

       C           G/B          D
Lie in tandem like two precious babes

          G           D/F#             Em          D
While the former gets warmer, it's the latter that matters

  C           G/B         D
Except on the nation's airwaves

       G          D/F#   Em             D
And custodians of public opinion stayed back

      C         G/B         D
After vainly discussing her rights

    G     D/F#    Em   C
Lay hands off her body

     C        D       G
It's not your fucking life
G G D/F# Em C C D G G [Verse 4]
    G            D/F#         Em           D
Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ

             C            G/B        D
From turning every hungry stone into bread

      G              D/F#        Em      D
And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted

         C             G/B        D
When the innocent firstborn sons lay dead

        G               D/F#       Em
Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative

D                C        G/B        D
Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea

    G    D/F#   Em      C
Now everybody's praying

C     D       G    G
Don't pray on me

     G    D/F#   Em   C
Said everybody's praying

C     D       G
Don't pray on me
G G D/F# Em C C D G*
