  G5      C5          D5       C5
A grizzly scene on my electron beam
       C5    D5          D5
Told a story about human rights
   G5           C5         D5           C5
So all of Kings horses and all of Kings men
      C5           D5       D5
Had a riot for two days and nights
          G5     C5             D5             C5
Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open
       C5      D5           D5
So the company asked him to quit
    G5   C5     D5    C5
Now everybody's equal
C5         D5      G5
just don't measure it


    G5          C5     D5   C5   C5                 D5               G5

     G5     C5        D5     C5
Well Hanson did it to Hester
    C5         D5        D5
And Mark David did it to John
    G5         C5        D5      C5
and maybe Jack did it to Marilyn
       C5        D5        D5
But he did it to South Vietnam
    G5  C5     D5    C5
For beauty and glory
    C5     D5       D5
For money, love and country
    G5   C5     D5    C5
Now everybody's doing it
C5       D5      G5
Don't do that to me

  G5       C5         D5       C5
A bitter debate and a feminine fate
       C5          D5           D5
Fly in tandem like two precious ?blades?
  G5          C5             D5          C5
A farmer gets warmer its the latter that matters
C5            D5          D5
Except on the nation's airwaves
    G5            C5      D5          C5
And custodians of public opinion stay back
         C5          D5         D5
at the debate and discuss civil rights
    G5    C5      D5   C5
Lay hands off her body
    C5       D5      G5
Its not your fucking right


    G5           C5         D5   C5                   C5  D5        G5

     G5           C5           D5           C5
Well I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ
             C5           D5         D5
From turning every hungry stone into bread
    G5        C5         D5      C5
And I don't remember how Moses reacted
         C5             D5            D5
When the innocent first born sons lay dead
     G5                C5         D5          C5
Well I guess God was a lot more demonstrative back
            C5       D5         D5
When He flamboyantly parted the sea
    G5   C5     D5  C5
Now everybody's praying
C5    D5      G5
Don't prey on me


     G5   C5     D5  C5
Said everybody's praying
C5    D5      G5
Don't prey on me


G5  C5  D5  C5  C5  D5  G5
