         E
We gotta change around here

Gotta change around here
         A
Can't go on this way
             E
Things gotta change around here

Say it loud, say it clear
             E
Things gonna change around here

Fingers on the trigger around here

Fingers on the trigger around here
        A
Bullets flying, mothers crying
         E
We gotta change around here
       B7                         A
Get it straight, be sure that you hear
                E
That it's gonna change around here

What good is freedom

If we haven't learned to be free? (Haven't learned to be free?)
             A
What good is freedom
                            E
If we haven't learned to be free? (Haven't learned to be free)
          B7              A
Day after day, year after year
            E
We're gonna change around here
