G C G
I was born and raised an orphan In a land that once was free
You went far across the ocean In a war that's not your own
Bm Am D
In a land that poured it's love out on the moon
And while you're winning theirs You went and lost the one at home
G C G
And I grew up in the shadows Of your silos filled with grain
Do you really think the only way To bring about the peace
Bm C G
But you never helped to fill my empty spoon
Is to sacrifice your children And kill all your enemies
G C G
And when I was ten you murdered law With courtroom politics
The politicians all make speeches While the news men all take notes
Bm Am D G
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth But I know you better now ed
And they exagerate the issues As they shove it down our throats
C G
And I don't fall for all your tricks
Is it really up to them Whether this country sinks or floats
Bm C G
'Cause you've lost the one advantage of my youth
Well I wonder who would lead us If none of us would vote
G C G
You kill a black man at midnight Just for talking to your daughter
Well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped From whispering through the fence
Bm Am D
Then you make his wife your mistress And you leave her without water
You know every move I make Or is that just coincidence
G C G
And the sheet you wear upon your face Is the sheet your children sleep on
Will you try to make my way of life A little less like jail
Bm Am D (Dsus4)
And at every meal you say a prayer You don't believe but still you keep on
If I promise to make tapes and slides And send them through the mail

And your money says 'In God We Trust' But it's against the law to pray in
school

You say you beat the Russians to the moon And I say you starved your children
to do it

You say 'all men are equal all men are brothers Then why are the rich more
equal than others
C Csus A D G
Don't ask me for the answer I've only got one
C Csus D G
That a man leaves his darkness when he fol lows the Son
