Violence flares and bullets loading

You're old enough to kill but not for votin
    D                         G                      A
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin?

But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend

Don't you understand what I'm tryin to say?

Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today?

If the button is pushed there's no running away

There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave

Take a look around you boy, it's bound to scare you boy

Ah my blood's so mad feels like coagulating

I'm sitting here, just contemplating
  D                          G          A
I can't switch the truth, it has no regulation
  D                         G         A
A handful of senators can't pass legislation
    D                   G          A
And marches alone can't bring integration
     D                G      A
When human respect is disintegrating
     D                   G            A
This whole crazy world is just too frustrating

But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend

Take a look around at Selma, Alabama.

You may leave here, for four days in space,

But when you return it's the same old place.
    D                          G            A
The pounding of the drums, the pride and disgrace,
        D                   G             A
You can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
          D                       G               A
Hate your next-door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace...
