Bb majorBb DmDm Bb majorBb A augmentedA
Bb majorBb DmDm Bb majorBb A augmentedA
Bb majorBb DmDm
How long before the hate that we hold
Lead us to another Holocaust?
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
Are we so deep in it that we can't end it?
Stop, hold, ever call it off
Bb majorBb DmDm
It's too clear, nuclear's too near
And the holders of the molotov
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
Say that "Revolution's right here, right now"
And they ain't callin' off
Verse:
G minorGm
Wake up, roll an eighth up
DmDm
Throw a double finger with a fist
Bb majorBb
Here at the abyss
I will be your tour guide
DmDm
It is war time, check your wrists (Ready, kids?)
G minorGm
Over to your right, shine a light
DmDm
Got a bevvy ready for the fight
Bb majorBb
I just wanna live
DmDm
I don't wanna ever have to load a clip
Only hunt bliss
G minorGm
I am still a kid in my heart
DmDm
But these motherfuckers sick
They don't give a shit, not at all
Bb majorBb DmDm
They don't even want to let you take a little piss in a pot
Listen along
G minorGm
They don't want your love, shit is bugged
DmDm
Motherfuckers steady getting rich from the blood
Bb majorBb
Love when you beg
A augmentedA
Trust, I would sooner put a puckered pair of lips to the sun
G minorGm
Love will survive
DmDm
Run out under iridescent lights for our lives
Bb majorBb DmDm
I will be surprised if we ever got the feeling so alive as tonight
Wild for the night
G minorGm
Look into my eyes
DmDm
I am standing at your side for the fight
Minds over might
Bb majorBb
Swear to God
DmDm
They could barely even see the dog
They don't see the size of the fight
G minorGm
Wake up, drink water
DmDm
Smoke blunt, clean, oil my Kalashnikov
Bb majorBb DmDm
Stockpile ten for me and friends in case shit get to poppin' off
G minorGm
The evening news givin' yous views
DmDm Bb majorBb
Telling you to pick your master for president
A augmentedA
Been behind the curtain, seen the devil workin'
Came back with some evidence
G minorGm FF
I'm here to tell you don't let 'em tell you what's right wrong
G minorGm FF
Make love, smoke kush, try to laugh hard, and live long
G minorGm
That's the antidote
DmDm
You defeat the devil when you hold onto hope
Bb majorBb
'Cause kinfolk life is beautiful
A augmentedA
And we ain't gotta die for them other men
G minorGm DmDm
And I refuse to kill another human being
In the name of a government
Bb majorBb
'Cause I don't study war no more
DmDm
I don't hate the poor no more
G minorGm
Gettin' more ain't what's more
DmDm
Only thing more is the love
Bb majorBb
So when you see me

Please greet me with a heart full
G minorGm
And a pound and a hug

Verse:
G minorGm DmDm
Seen the devil give a sermon in the church
Seen an angel dancing in the club
Bb majorBb DmDm
Tryin' to feed a baby so I threw a thousand in the air
And blessed her with a hug
G minorGm DmDm
I done been down so many times
Walked on like a dirty rug
Bb majorBb
And now that I made it, can't fake it
A augmentedA G minorGm
Gotta give me what I'm truly worthy of
DmDm Bb majorBb
And I don't know how much it really means to be right
DmDm G minorGm
And what a joy it'd be to see some peace in this life

And it occurs to me that maybe we ain't even really seein' it right
Here in the dark
A augmentedA
Hoping just to see a beam of the light
