Am                                 Dm         G    Am                                    Dm       G
I’ve been trying to tell it for a long, long time,     because of the system I’ve got to toe the line
Am                          Dm            G    Am                                Dm      G
Running with the pack now, that suits me fine,     one of these days I’m gonna speak my mind


[Bridge]
 Dm                                   Am
      Everyone trying to suppress me,     nobody shows no interest in me
 Dm                                          G
      They all just trying to control me, pressure they bring to bear on me, long time


[Chorus]
Am                    Dm       G                  Am                    Dm       G

Am                    Dm       G                  Am                 Dm                G
I’ve been working so hard, I never get a look in, I’ve been working hard, hard, hard, hard
Am                    Dm                     G
But it’s my turn now, I pay the piper, I’ll call the tune
Am                     Dm                     G
Said it’s my turn now, I pay the piper, I’ll call the tune
Am                 Dm           G
Said it’s my turn, I pay, I’ll call the tune
       Am               Dm            G                      Am               Dm                  G
