     E MajorE
Have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
                 BB
 Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
     E MajorE
 If you don't know what I mean,
      A augmentedA
 Won't you stand up and scream?
         E MajorE      BB         E MajorE
 'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know.

 Too many lives they've spent across the ocean.
                  BB
 Too much money been spent upon the moon.
     E MajorE
 Well, until they make it right
       A augmentedA
 I hope they never sleep at night
       E MajorE     BB
 They better make some changes
      E MajorE
 And do it soon.

 I think they just sit up there
 And just get high.
