G
Come you phoney super-patriotic people that say
C
That hating and fearing is my only way
G
That this here country has got to be
/Bb /g /d G
You're thinking of your sales, you ain't thinking of me.
G
You're not thinking of any George Washington
C
You're not thinking of any Thomas Jefferson
G
But you say that you are and you lie and mislead
D G
You use their names for your aims, for your selfish greed.
G G/Bb
Don't speak to me of your patriotism
C G/Bb
When you throw the Southern black boy in prison
G
And you say the only good niggers are the ones that have died
/g-bb /g /f /d G
Don't think I'll ever stand on your side.
G
Though you make it so hard for me to love
C
My face will never feel the slap of your glove
G
My hands will never buy the cards that you play
/g-bb /g-bb /g /f /d G
My feet will never walk down the road that you lay.
G
Get out in the open, stop standing afar
C
Let the whole world see what a hypocrite you are
G
I ain't joking and it ain't no gag
/g-bb /g /f /d G
You bin hiding too long behind the American flag.
