Words and Music by Stephen Stills from Crosby, Stills & Nash's 1994 album, "After the Storm" [Intro] F#m E D E F#m E N.C. [Verse 1]
              F#m
Don't you get tired

                    E
Of listening to the cover up

              D
Sounds like a broken old record

          E
When the needle gets stuck

             F#m
You got your media honeys

            E
Using their TV voice

            D
Tellin' you what you done decided

           E
As if you had any choice
[Chorus]
               F#m  A
And didn't they cry

                E
And worry 'bout people of color

                D
And didn't they mostly turn away

           E
Keep us afraid of each other

                   F#m  A
And you know it's a lie

               E
It ain't about people of color

             D
The American Dream betrayed

               E
And all of us feel the same rage

N.C                 F#m  E  D   E
And it won't go away
[Verse 2]
         F#m
Isn't it strange

           E
Ain't it a mystery

            D
How did he get it in his head

                 E
Somehow he could speak for me

N.C.           F#m
Hey, if what he's been a' saying

                E
Is actually what he believes

               D
Then one of us surely is a fool

                     E                N.C.
And you know that he thinks that it's me
[Chorus]
               F#m  A
And didn't they cry

                E
And worry 'bout people of color

                D
And didn't they mostly turn away

           E
Keep us afraid of each other

                  F#m  A
And you know it's a lie

                E
It ain't about people of color

                D
The American Dream betrayed

               E
And all of us feel the same rage
N.C. And it won't go away [Interlude] F#m E D E F#m E D E [Verse 3]
          F#m
Somebody wants us divided

            E
Someone of evil intent

              D
Trying to confuse and control

                 E
The minds of the innocent

             F#m
And isn't it time

                  E
Good people have got to speak up

                   D
And you'll know exactly what to say

            E
When you've finally had enough
[Chorus]
            F#m  A
Don't you go try

                E
And blame it on people of color

               D
And don't you dare turn away

           E
Keep us afraid of each other

                    F#m  A
Cause you know it's a lie

                E
It ain't about people of color

                D
The American Dream betrayed

               E
And all of us feel the same rage

N.C.                F#m
And it won't go away

           E
Won't go away

          D  E
Won't go away

         F#m
Won't go away
