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 C5 D5 G5

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
