Verse 1:
G                       Fmaj7
Have you heard the news today?
Em                     C
The bombs are dropped, the swamp is drained
G                         Fmaj7
America is finally getting saved!
Em                       C
11 million off of Medicaid
G                     Fmaj7
Temperatures rise like interest rates
Em                        C
Built Auschwitz in the Everglades
G                     Fmaj7
And sold merch at the front gate

Verse 2:
G                     Fmaj7
They're starving, sick and sleep deprived
Em                    C
But they don't look like you or I
G                        Fmaj7
Guess empathy don't cross state lines
Em                       C
In the great US of A
G                         Fmaj7
The flag’s got no more blue or white
Em                        C
They sold the stars, we all wear stripes
G                       Fmaj7
No need to read between the lines
Em                       C
When there's blood spilled on the page
Pre-Chorus:
G                    Fmaj7
Never again means not today
Em                     C
You gave the man your eyes
G                        Fmaj7
So you could sleep at night
Em                    C
But you still hear their cries

Chorus:
G                     Fmaj7
You can't outrun this shame
Em                   C
This land was yours and mine
G                      Fmaj7
Until they bled it dry
Em                    C
History won't be kind
G                       Fmaj7
To those who turn the other way

Bridge / Verse 3:
G                    Fmaj7
Empathy becomes partisan
Em                      C
When rights get framed as politics
G                      Fmaj7
Born-again republicans
Em                       C
Start ditching what their scripture says
G                    Fmaj7
Hate thy neighbor, turn 'em in
Em                      C
And burn amendments five and ten
G                      Fmaj7
The faithful bent the cross to fit
Em                       C
But heavy is the crown that sits

Build:
G                     Fmaj7
Atop his empty head
Em                     C
He'll only pledge allegiance
G                         Fmaj7
To self-interest, to help the rich
Em                       C
Get rich at your expense
G                    Fmaj7
While you absolve his sins
Em                    C
And your indifference
G                    Fmaj7
Ain’t righteousness
Em                    C
It’s evil at its best
G                    Fmaj7
Celebrate ignorance
Em                        C
And cheer and clap as the boot steps
G              Fmaj7
On your neck ‘til it snaps

Chorus / Outro:
G                     Fmaj7
You gave the man your eyes
Em                    C
So you could sleep at night
G                       Fmaj7
But you still hear their cries
Em                     C
You can't outrun this shame
G                     Fmaj7
This land was yours and mine
Em                    C
Until they bled it dry
G                     Fmaj7
History won't be kind
Em                        C
To those who turned the other way

Outro / Oohs:
G      Fmaj7      Em      C
Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh
G      Fmaj7      Em      C
Ooh ooooh, Can you hear them crying?
G      Fmaj7      Em      C
Ooh ooh ooh, Ooh ooh ooh
G      Fmaj7      Em      C
I still hear them crying  .
