[A]
[G]
[C] So, so [D] you think you can tell [Am] Heaven from hell
[G] Blue skies from pain [D] Can you tell it when you feel
[Gm] From a cold [C] steel rail [Em] A [Am] smile from a fell
[G] Do you think you can tell Did they [C] get you to trade
Your [D] heroes for gold [Am] Hot acid for trees
[G] Hot air for a cool breeze [D] Cold comfort for change
Did you [C] exchange One more part [Am] in the war
For a leaf [G] roll in the cave
Are
[E] [G]
you listening to hip [Em] [G] hop
Or are you told it's a [Em] riot
[A] Refugees [D] on your [E] box
[G]
[A] [D] We gonna take over [G] your block
Let's go
[C] How I wish, how [D] I wish you were here
[Am] We're just two lost souls swimming in a [G] fishbowl
Year after year
[D] We're running over the same old [C] ground
What have we found
The [Am] same old fears
Wish [G] you knew what hit
[Em] Are [G]
you listening to hip hop
[A] [G]
Refugees on your box
[A] [G] Critics, don't mistake this for just any cover tune
I'ma take y'all to the dark side of the moon
Kicking in my mom's room, this song was just a thought
A young refugee, label, just come with a passport
Dad used to tell me about the American dream
My dream was waking up in the projects of young teens
Listen to hip hop, my brother tuned me into rock
Put me up on Pink Floyd, a band from the British blocks
Whether you're dropping a [Em] hit
Or
[G] you're told it's a [Em] riot
[A] Refugees on your [Em] box
[A]
You're gonna take over the [G] blocks
[C] How I wish, how I [D] wish you were here
We're [Am] just two lost souls swimming in a [G] fishbowl
Year after year
[D] We're running over the same old [C] ground
What have we found
The [Am] same old fears
Wish [G] you knew what hit
[Em]
Whether [G] you're dropping a hit [Em] Hit hard
Or [G]
you're told it's a riot
[Em] [A]
