We the people are so incensed in the constitution of a promised land.
So [C] it's sad, just don't see it right, that [Bb] the day of [G] Borman cuts his hand to slice,
that [D] the man of Neal [C] must learn his taste [G] when he cuts the people.
[Gm]
[D] [Dm] When we in the [G] backbone of the company, I found the targets, what's the worst for me?
Well, it ain't [C] working, just don't see it right.
When [G] it comes to freedom, we fight the fight.
The wind's [D] getting richer, [Dm] [C] but it's all the same.
You [Gm] got to see the people [G] ready to [C] fight.
[D] [C] [Bb] [G] Get up [C] in the morning, [Bb]
[G] [C] go to my [Gm] job.
[G] Boss [C] said, [Gm] shorty, [G] don't need you [C] no [Gm] more.
You're [C] 20 [Bb] years, [G] give it all you got.

Learn to run!
