C
I've got to know, yes, I've got to know friend
G7
Hungry lips ask me wherever I go
C
Comrades and friends all falling around me
G7 C
I've got to know, yes, I've got to know
C
Why do your boats ride on my waters?
G7
Why do your death bombs fall from my skies?
C
Why do you burn my farm and my town down?
G7 C
I've got to know, friend, I've got to know
C
What makes your boats haul death to my people?
G7
Nitro blockbusters, big cannons and guns
C
Why doesn't your ship bring food and some clothing?
G7 C
I've sure got to know, folk, I've sure got to know
C
Why can't my two hands get a good pay job?
G7 C
I can still plow, plant, I can still sow
C
Why did your law-book chase me off my good land?
G7 C
I'd sure like to know, friend, I've sure got to know
C
What good work did you do, sir, I'd like to ask you
G7
To give you my money right out of my hands?
C
I built your big house here, to hide from my people
G7 C
Why you crave to hide so, I'd love to know
C
You keep me in jail and lock me in prison
G7
Your hospital's jammed and your crazy-house full
C
What made your cop kill my trade union worker?
G7 C
You hafta talk plain 'cause I sure have to know
C
Why can't I get work and cash my big paycheck?
G7
Why can't I buy things in your place and your store?
C
Why do you close my plant down, and starve all my buddies?
G7 C
I'm asking you, sir, 'cause I've sure got to know
