Cause they got the guts to get [A]out in
The strees and tell the truth [D]every
Day aahh [A]yes
[D]Making it a little hot
[A]for them, you know all [D]right
But [A]you know that [D]we're all
just out there proving [A]to
Richard Nixon [D]and Spiro Agnew and
Richard [A]Dailey and all them other,
[D]Well whatever you want to call them
[A]That America is sti[D]ll the home of
the brave oh [A]yes it is
And you got to be [D]brave children
How many is [A]it that they shot down
already?
[D]Something like seventeen of us.
[A]But you know we gotta do it
[D]We gotta keep on keeping on
[A]Because if we don't do
[D]it nobody else is gonna
[A]But you know if we can't do
it [D]with a smile on our face
You [A]know if we can't love in our hearts
Then [D]children we ain't got no right to
Do it [A]at all
Because it just [D]means we ain't learned
nothing yet
We're supposed to be
[A]some kind of different
[D]Who[A]a Who[D]a Whoa oh yes
And I don't know [A]if I want white
America to [D]re member or to forget
[A]That Jesus Christ was the first
[D]non- violent revolutionary
[A]Dig [D]it oh Dig it ooh [A]right on
Dig [D]it yeah
[A]You know that

[Verse 7]
paranoia [D]it strikes deep
[A]Into your life it's go[D]ing to creep
