(play that Throughout the entire song on another guitar)
[A]Turn 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
[D]Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
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
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
[A]Like this war's really just a different brand of war
[E]Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
[A]Like 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
[D]For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
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 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
[D]At 10 years old, it's something to see
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?
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
[D]There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
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
[A]My 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"
[D]Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
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
With [D]hands held high into a sky so blue
As the [A]ocean opens up to [E]swallow you (x6)
