G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
It seemed like everyone I knew was dying
C majorC D MajorD G+G
I looked in the mirror and I was on fire
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Somebody yelled out "hey, stop, drop, and roll!"
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G
I said "that might save my skin, but it won't save my soul.
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul"

You swallow hard and you bottle it up
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Try to pretend you're a half full cup
G+G D MajorD G+G
Believe what they're feeding, you're eating it up
G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G
While I'm reading books about how they're corrupt
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
I'm reading books about how they're corrupt
[Chorus]
D MajorD C majorC G+G
He says he protecting us but he's a liar

I'll keep on yearning
D MajorD C majorC
To save the world

Since what they call the beginning of man

G+G E minorEm D MajorD G+G
Our only hope is to look further back

If we really want for this world to survive

It's a mistake to just take and not give

Placing my cards all face up on the table

If somebody yells out "hey, stop, drop, and roll!"
