Black Rage

Em Am D G Bm

[Verse 1]
Em
  Black rage is founded on 
two-thirds a person
Am
  Raping and beatings and suffering 
that worsens
Em            D        Bm    Am 
  Black human packages tied up in 
  G
strings
  Em                         Am   
  Black rage can come from all 
         Bm
these kinds of things.

Em
  Black rage is founded on blatant 
denial,
Am
  sweet economics, subsistent 
survival,
Em           D      Bm  Am
  deafening silence and social 
         G
control,
  Em                      Am      
  black rage is found in all forms
         Bm
 in the soul,


[Chorus]
Em                  Am           
  When the dog bites, when the 
        G                    Em
bee stings, when I’m feeling sad,
Am                                
  I simply remember all these 
                     G           
kinds of things, and then I don’t 
       Em
fear so bad

Em
  Black rage is founded who fed us 
self hatred
Am
  Lies and abuse while we waited and
 waited
  Em         D
  Spiritual treason
  Bm           Am        G
  This grid and it's cages
  Em                      Am      
  Black rage was founded on these 
        Bm
kinds of things

Em
  Black rage is founded on dreaming 
and draining
Am
  Threatening your freedom
  Em
  To stop your complaining
  D             Bm
  Poisoning your water
  Am                        G
  While they say it's raining
  Em                  Am          
  Then call you mad for 
        Bm
complaining, complaining


Em
  Old time bureaucracy
Am
  Drugging the youth

the truth
  D
  Murder and crime
  Bm             Am
  Compromise and distortion
  G          Em
  Sacrifice, sacrifice
  Am           Bm
  Who makes this fortune?
  Em                   D
  Greed, falsely called progress
  Bm         Am       G
  Such human contortion
  Em                      Am   
  Black rage is founded on these 
           Bm
kinds of things


[Chorus]
Em                  Am           
  When the dog bites, when the 
        G                    Em
bee stings, when I’m feeling sad,
Am                                
  I simply remember all these 
                     G           
kinds of things, and then I don’t 
       Em
fear so bad
