[A]
[G]
[E] Oh, [A] hey, hey, that young boy without a name, and he will, I know his fate.
In this city, they keep my faith [G] out, just seeing him, seeing [E] how.
[A] Every day, I see him when I sigh, I'm looking for a place to hide from his father.
They could not make [Em] out what he said to my head.
Oh, what's the matter, hey?
[A]
[D] I'm tired of [E] the [F#m] excuses.
Everybody uses [D] it's okay, [E] to ask [A] you to stay.
[D] But who [E] gave you [F#m] the right [D] to do this?
[E]
[A] We live among against this dust and people's faith.
And if mother, I never see [G] her, but her screams and her curse, [E] I hear them every [A] day.
It's like we don't mind, that who beats on your behalf.
Slap you, slap you till he [Em] made me say, hey, hey, hey.
Oh, what's the matter, hey?
[A]
[D] I'm tired of [E] the [F#m] excuses.
Everybody uses [D] it's okay, [E] I stay [A] out of it.
[D] But death [E] is through [F#m] this, I don't care what [D] you did.
[E] It's your own [A] flesh and blood.
[C#m] [A]
[F#m]
[A]
[D] I have heard [E] the excuses.
[F#m] [D] Everybody uses [E] it's okay, do as you [A] prefer.
[D] [E] Death is through [F#m] this, I don't care what [D] you did.
[E] It's your [A] own flesh and blood.
[G]
[A] And if you don't sit in your chair today, I'll take this out from around my waist.
And don't you [G] think that I'm gonna [D] yell [E] and take your [F#m] time.
What could be the other that [D] we could [E] do it so [A] young and old.
If [D] I'm the only [E] witness to your [F#m] madness, offer me
[D] [E] mercy and what [A] I give.
[D] All of these things [E] [F#m] that you do, I'm [D] supposed [E] to do because it belongs [A] to you.
And [D] instead of loving [E] the feel of what [F#m] you've given him, be [D] scuffing so that you don't get [E] tired [A] of all this.
And I want to say, I [Em] want to say, hey, hey, hey.
What's the matter here?
[A]
But I [G] don't dare say, hey, hey, hey.
[E] What's the matter here?
[A]
But I [G] don't dare say, [E] hey, hey, [A] hey.
[G] [N]
