Verse 1
Db
Turn my mic up louder
I got to say something
Ab
Lightweights stepping aside
When we come in
Bbm
Feel it in your chest
The syllables get pumping
People on the street
They panic and start running
Gb
Words on loose leaf
Sheet complete coming
I jump on my mind
I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
Db
Healing the blind
I promise to let the sun in
Ab
Sick of the dark ways
We march to the drumming
Db
Jump when they tell us
They want to see jumping
Ab
Fuck that, I want to see some fist pumping
Bbm
Risk something
Take back what's yours
Say something that you know
They might attack you for
Gb
'Cause I'm sick of being treated
Like I had before
Like it's stupid standing for
What I'm standing for
Db
Like this war is really just
A different brand of war
Ab
Like it doesn't cater the rich
And an abandon the poor
Pre-chorus 1
Bbm
Like they understand you
In the back of the jet
Gb
When you can't put gas in your tank
Db
These fuckers are laughing their way
To the bank and cashing their check
Ab
Asking you to have compassion
and to have some respect
Bbm
For a leader so nervous In an obvious way
Gb
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
Db
And the rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
Ab
In the living room laughing
Like what did he say?
Chorus 1
Bbm
Gb
Amen, amen
Db
Ab
Db
Amen, amen, amen
Verse 2
Db
In my living room watching
But I am not laughing
'Cause when it gets tense
Ab
I know what might happen
Bbm
The world is cold
The bold men take action
Have to react
Or get blown into fractions
Gb
Ten years old is something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a jeep
Db
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
Ab
I won der if he thought
the "next one could be me"
Db
Do you see?
The soldiers they're out today
That brush the dust
Ab
from bulletproof vests away
Bbm
It's ironic
At times like this you pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
Gb
There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your markets, your shops, your clothes
Db
My dad, he's got a lot of fear I know
Ab
But enough pride inside not to let that show
Pre-chorus 2
Bbm
My brother had a book
he would hold with pride
Gb
A little red cover with a broken spine
Db
In the back he hand wrote a quote inside
Ab
"When the rich wage war,
it's the poor who die"
Bbm
Meanwhile the leader just talks away
Gb
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
Db
The rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
Ab
Both scared and angry
Like what did he say?
Chorus 2
Bbm
Gb
Amen, amen
Db
Ab
Amen, amen

To swallow you

To swallow you

Into a sky so blue

As the o cean opens up
Ab
To swallow you
