Verse 3
(D major)
It's in (G minor) credibly sick,
you can feel it, as across the land it flows (D major) (G minor)
Prejudice is slick when it's a word game,
it festers and grows, (D major)
(G minor) Move along quick,
it furthers one to have somewhere to go (D major)
You can feel it as it's rumblin'

By and by, (G minor) somebody usually goes (D major)
(D minor) (D major) (G minor) down to the ghetto
Try and help but they don't know why
folks treat them cold (D minor) (D major) (G minor)
And the rich keep getting richer and the rest
of us just (F sharp minor) keep (G minor) getting old. (D major)
You see one (G minor) must have a mission
In order to be a good Christian
If you don't you will be missing
High Mass or the (F sharp minor) evening (D major) show (G minor)
Verse 8
And the well (G minor) fed masters reap the harvests
of the polluted seeds they've sown, (D major)
Smug (G minor) and self-righteous they they
bitch about people (D major) they owe, (G minor) (D major)
(G minor) And you can't prove them wrong,
they're so God damn sure they know (D major)
I have seen these things with my very own (G minor)
eyes and defended my battered soul,
Verse 9
It must be too (G minor) tough to die,
Amer (D major) ican propaganda,
South Afric (G minor) an lies
Will not force me to take up arms,
that's my (F major) enemies' pride,
Ands I won't fight (D minor) by his rules
that's (D major) foolish (G minor) ness besides,
Verse 10
His ignorance (G minor) is gonna do him
in and nobody's gonna cry,
(F major) Be (G minor) cause his children they are grow (D major) ing
up and plainly tired of putting up (G minor)
With bigots and their silver cups
They're fed up, they (F major) might throw up
(D major) On you
