[Verse 1]
D G D You can talk about your neighbor D G D You can grab him by the collar D G D You can hurt him only if he hollers G A "Let me go?-let me go"
[Chorus]
D G D But we all know that's old-fashioned D G D And it can only lead to pain D G D Where we might end up on the corner G A D Taking handouts in the rain
[Verse 2]
D G D You can bomb your foreign brother D G D You can hurt him until he dies D G D You can kill him until he never asks you why G A You're on his land?-you're on his land
[Chorus]
D G D But we all know that's all over D G D And that can only lead to blame D G D Where we might end up for our country G A D Taking handouts in the rain
[Verse 3]
D G D You can trample on your sister D G D You can hurt her only if she cries D G D You can hurt her only if she cares G A With all her heart?-with all her heart
[Chorus]
D G D But we all know she'd be a mother D G D And that could only lead to shame D G D Where she might end up for her children G A D Taking handouts in the rain

[Verse 4]
D G D Teach your children stories D G D You can fill them full of lies D G D You can make them all despise G A One another?-one another
[Chorus]
D G D But when they all find out later D G D And they call us by our rightful names D G D And send us shamefully to old age G A D Taking handouts in the rain G A D Taking handouts in the rain G A D Taking handouts in the rain
