Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]War and slavery, exploitation
The common basis of a western nation
Official version, a falsified [D]story
[Em]The truth lies buried in a shroud of glory
[D]Oppression,

[Verse 2]
[Em]ignorance, idiocy rule
Education is more than what's
Taught in school
Forced in a mold,
held down by threats
Decisions are made over our heads

[Verse 3]
But [Em]there is a way [D]to re[Em]fuse and resist
We don't need to be ruled
with the iron fist
We are [D]the people, [Em]we are strong
[D]Let's [Em]make up our minds
and prove 'em wrong
Black man, white man, yellow man
Black man, white man, rip the system
Black man, white man, yellow man

[Interlude 1]
Black man, white man, rip the system
[Em]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Religion and TV,
you're under the thumb
Made to believe 'cause you're
already numb
Smoke and mirrors, a bitter surprise
The ideals that were crammed
down your throat
All turned out to be [D]lies
[Em]

[Interlude 2]
[D][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Black man, white man, yellow man
Black man, white man, rip the system
Black man, white man, yellow man
Black man, white man,
rip the system

[Verse 6]
[Em]Influential people aren't serving time
For being involved in
[D]organ[Em]ised crime
Stashed away in beautiful mansions
Guess who provides for
Their generous pensions

[Verse 7]
But [Em]regular folks when
they fail to deliver
Get pent- up in jail and [D]sen
t up [Em]the river
Begging the question:
what's the deal?
No peace without justice

[Verse 8]
and that's for real
[Em]But there is a way t[D]o re[Em]fuse and resist
We don't need to be
ruled with the iron fist
We are [D]the people, [Em]we are strong
Let's make up our minds
and prove 'em wrong
Black man, white man, yellow man
Black man, white man, rip the system
Black man, white man, yellow man
Black man, white man, rip [D]the system

[Verse 9]
[Em]Rip the [D]system rip t[Em]he syste[D]m
[Em]Rip the system rip the system

[Verse 10]
Not a [Em]day goes by [D]without [Em]terrible news
[D]Sky[Em] is falling, hell breaks loose
It [D]absolutely [Em]makes no sense
[D]To [Em]do nothing but hope
for a turn of events

[Verse 11]
[Em]Black man, white man, yellow man
Black man, white man, rip the system
Black man, white man, yellow man
Black man, white man,
rip the system
[D][Em]

[Verse 12]
[Em]Rip [D]the system r[Em]ip the system
Rip the sys[Em]tem
