   A            E
If I had nickel for
             F#                
Every single time I've tried to 
              D                    
classify the populace around me 
     A
with a word,
            E
Or a catchy phrase,
                F#              
I could quit my job for good and 
                 D
play Nintendo until my fingures 
ached.

E       F#         D             
Am I an idiot, too lazy to think 
A
twice?
E           F#            D     
I point the finger, but I can't 
        A
take my own advise.
E       F#                D      
I put a name on something and ever 
  A
since,
E            F#                 
I've made an art of building my 
D             A
counterfeit intelligence.

             E
Seemingly to me,

             F#            
I am strightening a word of 
                    D              
cluttered thoughts and debris 
      A
inside my head,
               E
But I think instead
          F#                     
I am prejudiced and I give people 
          D
names to make me feel safe.

How does it feel, what does it 
               D         C# B
take to make me understand?
A          D           B         
If I could only walk a mile in 
  D    C# B A
the shoes      of another man.
   D       B                    D 
If I could look out through his 
C# B A
eyes
                          D        
And know what it means to bleed the
          E
 same red blood that I do.

A          D                 B  
What is economic status, and 
             D C# B
tell me what is race?
A              D           B    
Who decides to classify taxonomy

 of grace?
A                    D            
If one man gets less than another,
 B     D C# B
 it is true,
A                   D            
That he is all that different, 
   E               A
that he is less than you?
