[F]It's another night in [C]hell
Another child [F]won't live to [C]tell
Can you imagine [F]what it's [C]like to starve to death [F-C]
And as [F]we sit free [C]and well
Another sold[F]ier has to [C]yell
Tell my wife[F] and childr[C]en I love them in [F]his last [C]breath
C'mon now [F]a...[C]men, [F]a...[C]men, [F]a...[C]men, [F]a...[C]men

[F]Natural [C]disasters or these [F]wolves in sheep[C] clothes pastors
Now [F]God damn it I'm [C]scared to send my [F]children to [C]church
And how [F]can we seek [C]salvation when our [F]nations race rel[C]ations
Got me [F]feeling guilty[C] of being white[F-C]

Guitar 1: Use Fill 1, but rhythm changes with emphasis on high E & B
Stop [F]pointing fingers and [C]take some blame

[F]Open up your m[C]ind and start to live[F-C]
Stop [F]short changing your [C]neighbors
Living off [F]hand outs and [C]favors, and maybe
[F]Give a little bit [C]more than you [F]got to [C]give
[F]Simplify,[C] testify, [F]identify,[C] rectify
And if [F]I get h[C]igh stop being so u[F]ptight[C]

Piano Only (Guitar 1 can play th F-C chords)
Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew
Just dying to be with you
You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you
So just hold on 'cause you know it's true
And if you can take the pain
And you can withstand anything, and one day
Stand hand in hand with the truth
I said amen, I said amen
I said amen, I said amen,
Amen
