The Eastern world it is explodinʼ,
 D                   G              A
violence flarinʼ and bullets loadinʼ,
       D                       G       A
Youʼre old enough to kill, but not for votinʼ,
    D                           G                           A
You donʼt believe in war, butʼs whatʼs that gun youʼre totinʼ?
     D                        G      A
And even the Jordan River has bodies floatinʼ
        D        G        A         D              Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,

Canʼt you feel the fear that Iʼm feelinʼ today?
       D                          G         A
If the button is pushed thereʼs no running away,
            D                       G          A
Thereʼll be no one to save with the world in a grave.
       D                         G                  A
Take a look around you boy, itʼs bound to scare you boy,

My bloodʼs so mad feels like coagulatinʼ,
D                G          A
Iʼm sittinʼ here just contemplatinʼ

You canʼt twist the truth it knows no regulation,
      D                         G         A
and a handful of Senators donʼt pass legislation.
 D                   G         D
Marches alone canʼt bring integration,
      D                G      D
when human respect is disintegratinʼ.
 D                         G            A
This whole crazy world is just too frustratinʼ.
        D        G        A         D              Bm
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,

then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
 D                      G            A
You may leave here for four days in space,
    D                         G        A
But when you return, itʼs the same old place.
    D                   G            A
The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace,
       D                         G       A
you can bury your dead, but donʼt leave a trace,
 D                                 G               A
Hate your next door neighbor, but donʼt forget to say grace.
