[Verse 3]
Won't somebody testify? Kick [Am]a hole
right [G5]in t[G]he sky

[Em]I, I, I wond[Am]er why, [Em]why
Put us in your pumpkin shell
Where you keep us [G]very well
It's [Em]hell, where I dwell

[Verse 5]
When [Em]history books are full of shit
I become the anarchist,
I'm [E]pissed at [Em]this
What this country claims to be

[E]I bleed

[Verse 7]
[Em]I, I, I de[G]cide[Em] to defy
Kill my trust if you must,

thrashing through me like a shark
[E]Crashing through the dark

[Verse 9]
[Em]I, I, I confide, confi[E]de[Em]
What am I supposed to do,
I feel like I'm [G5]cut in t[G]wo
Con[Em]fused by rules
Do these two cultures clash
or am I living in the past?
I ask, please, tell me [Am]fast

[Verse 11]
[Em]I, I, I, that's righ[E]t[Em][E]
[Em]To what do I bel[G5]ong and
[Em]if I[G] change will I be wr[Em]ong
Be [Am]wrong, [Em]that's wrong
[E]I too[G5]k my [Em]foot and kicked
a hole in [G]the sky
[Em]I proceeded to plead,
[Am]forefath[E]ers, help me decid[G5]e
[Am]A[Em]

[Verse 12]
jagged flash of
light struck me in the eye
I turned around and found
that I was still alive
Snakes [G]rise high [Em]from the purple [G]black sky
[Em]The red [Am]cloud[Em] rains[E] and
the black [Em]horse rides

[Verse 13]
Then it [Em]dawned on me like
the mornin' [G]sun
I'm a [Em]part of [Am]two worlds a[Em]nd
the mornin' comes
Glowing embers [G]tend [Em]to
remember when
The power that is peace
was treated as a [Am]friend
[Em]I am a master of adaption and
I've got to take [G]action
I'm [Em]a man, [Am]the animal man
