🎸 Bridge:
DbDb
What does it take
Eb MajorEb
To wake up a generation
DbDb
How can you make someone
Eb MajorEb
Take off and fly
If we don't wake up
And shake up the nation
We'll eat the dust of the world
Wonderin' why, why
Why do we stay with lovers
Who we know, down deep
Just aren't right
Why would we rather
Put ourselves through hell
Than sleep alone at night
Why do we follow leaders who never lead
Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution
If we're so free
Tell me why
Someone tell me why
So many people bleed
