Verse 1
Turn the (E minor)
TV on, and your children watch more
And they see dead kids,
they won't fight no
more
How long you gonna wait,
before you see the
truth?
When will all this night make
a change in you?
When?
When?
When?
When? (E major)
(E minor) When (A minor) desperation almost
tears this world apart
But (F sharp major) death is so close on you,
you'll be walking on (B major) and on (E minor) (E major) (E minor)
When the blacks and whites
see a game they're in
When the
East
Race say that the best men win
When you speak of hate like
you think it's right
There's a time gonna come
when you'll be attacked
When, when, (E major) (E minor) when, when
When (A minor) suicide and hom (G major) icide
and geno (A minor) cide all (G major) rise
(A minor) And people (B major) this world over
Feel their time (E minor) has come
to die (E major) (E minor) (E major) (E minor)
The cost of living
Keeps a man on his knees
When can
(E major) I, this man
(E minor) Live a life of peace
When your friends don't agree
With your point of (E major) view
When will you admit
You (E minor) can be wrong too?
When?
When? (E major) (E minor)
When?
When? (E major)
When (E minor) despera (A minor) tion
Almost tears (G major) this world (A minor) apart (E minor) (G major)
When (B major) death is so close on you
You'll be walking arm in (F sharp major) arm (E minor) (E major) (E minor)
(G major) (E minor) (E major) (E minor) (E major)
(G major) (E minor) (E major)
(E minor)
What's (E major) coming next,
do you know what kind of prices they're asking for clothes these
days?
And a week later, they're out of style? (E minor)
(G major) You won't be (E minor) lieve what I paid for
three tomatoes today.
You gotta (E major) be rich just to eat decent.
They gotta tax on everything but breathing.
If you keep your money at home,
(E minor) some crook is gonna break in and rob you.
If you take it (D major) to the bank,
you (E major) have to pay taxes on it.
I mean, enough of anything is enough.
You hardly hear anything about the bombings
unless (E minor) little kids (G major) get killed.
My neighbor's (E minor) son got killed in the war.
(E major) He was (E minor) grown.
(E major) Now she sits around whining.
It's a shame.
You get yourself a decent education,
You (E minor) work (G major) hard, and half your check
is gone before (E minor) you even see it.
And it's a crime to be single.
They must think (E major) only married
people have to pay rent.
Say that again.
I don't want anything for (E minor) free,
but (G major) I'm not working for nothing.
I (E minor) know what you mean.
It's time somebody woke (E major) up.
One of the people gonna stop acting like
machines are more important than people.
They talk about balancing
(E minor) some budget. (G major)
They better balance (E minor) me some more
(E major) money out of my check.
You know how the crime rate is
rising across the country?
It all comes from the hostility
that's in the air. (G major)
You can (G major) almost feel (E minor) it.
Everyone's go (E major) ing overboard
with everything.
Don't baddies use so much dope that they kill themselves,
you know?
Did you see when those kids set
themselves on fire? (E minor)
Kids go so (G major) far as to lock
(E minor) themselves inside schools
(E major) I remember when they could
(E minor) n't wait to get out
Well, (G major) (E minor) to each his own I guess
But (E major) I got a feeling a time gon' come
(E minor) Where all this hatred and bitterness
gon' come to an end
But (E major) when?
I'm asking you out there, when?
What?
Why? (E major)
