The Race Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C5]I he[F#]ard t[F5]here[C5]
was a plaace
Where we're all one race
Color, gender, age never could dictate
I saw there was a time
When we valued all lives
Nobody oppressed,
everyone had [F5]rights
[C5]Suddenly, in an age where the distance
between us is binary
All we see, is an internal war friendly fire
in the sky and respect on the floor
[Ab]Constricting like a heart attack

[Verse 2]
[E5]A my[Em]thomaniac on
the loose in the street[C5]s
[Ab]Blood boil[Ab5]ing with the burn
[Ab]ing heat
[E5]Of caustic [Em]defeat,
now there's no turning [C5]back

[Verse 3]
[C5]
Ha, so we laugh while
the tides all turn
Maiting grey matter, voluntarily slaves
Always searching for the one real truth
So we can misconstrue it [F5]to sun
[C5]our needs[Ab5]

[Verse 4]
[Ab]Constricting like a heart [E]attack
[Em]A mythomaniac on the loose
in the [C5]streets
[Ab]Blood boiling with the burning heat
[E]Of caustic [Em]defeat,
now there's no turning [C5]back

[Verse 6]
[F5]the [C5]run
Can't remember where we're running
to or what we're running from
But we're picking up speed
All the books and broadcast Jettison
Without their burden true
ethics are freed
Extract the labels that lobotomize
And you'll realize we are all one
Fly or swim, fur or skin
We're alive, abolitionists rise
[Ab]Constricting like a heart

[Verse 7]
attack
[E]A m[Em]ythomaniac on
the loose in the [C5]streets
[Ab]Blood boiling with the burning heat
[E5]Of caustic [Em]defeat,
now don't go turning [C5]back
