A A/G# F#m D A E A
        A
Turn my mic up louder, I got to say somethin'

                       A/G#
Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in

F#m
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping

                           F#m/E
People on the street then panic and start running

D
Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming

                            D/E
I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping

A
Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in

E
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming

A
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping

                    A/E
Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping

F#m
List something, take back what's yours

                                        F#m/E
Say something that you know they might attack you for

            D
'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before

                                        D/E
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for

          A
Like this war's really just a different brand of war

         E
Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor

          F#m
Like they understand you, in the back of their jet

         D
When you can't put gas in your tank, these fuckers

     A
Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check

       E
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect

       F#m
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way

      D
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

         A
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

       E
In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"

 F#m
Amen

 D
Amen

 A
Amen

 E
Amen

 A
Amen

       A
In my living room watching but I am not laughing

                             A/E
'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen

    F#m
The world is cold, the bold men take action

                     F#m/E
Have to react to get blown into fractions

D
  10 years old, it's something to see

                           D/E
Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep

     A
Taken and bound and found later under a tree

         E
I wonder if he had thought 'the next one could be me'

       A
Do you see the soldiers that are out today?

                                     A/E
They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away

       F#m
It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray

                              F#m/E
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

         D
There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads

                         D/E
Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes

   A
My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know

      E
But enough pride inside not to let that show

   F#m
My brother had a book he would hold with pride

  D
A little red cover with a broken spine

        A
on the back, he hand-wrote a quote inside,

          E
"When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"

    F#m
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away

      D
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

    A
The rest of the world watching at the end of the day

     E
Both scared and angry, like "What did he say?"

 F#m
Amen

 D
Amen

 A
Amen

 E
Amen

 A
Amen

     F#m                    D
With hands held high into a sky so blue

       A                 E
As the ocean opens up to swallow you (x6)
