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

Into a sky so blue

As the o cean opens up
A
To swallow you

With hands held high

Into a sky so blue

As the o cean opens up
A
To swallow you
Bm
With hands held high
G
Into a sky so blue

With hands held high

Into a sky so blue

As the o cean opens up

With hands held high
G
Into a sky so blue

As the o cean opens up
A
To swallow you
Bm
With hands held high
G
Into a sky so blue
D
As the o cean opens up
A
To swallow you
