[Verse 1]
Cm Baug
tired of this world, I am exhausted
Eb
we should leave, we should be going
A
let’s get out now, run away, I am not doing this
Cm Baug
tired of dishonesty, you shouldn’t have been lying to me,
Eb
darling, even you now, need to change now,
A
or this world will take you
[Chorus]
Bm E G# Gsus4 G
sometimes people like to show us just how powerful they are
Bm E G# Gsus4 G
inequality won’t solve itself, so why not give a hand?
Bm E G# Gsus4 G
this world is not what it was, no, but hang in there, just hold on
Bm E G# Gsus G
I know one day we can fix this, if you’re tired give a hand
[Verse 2]
Cm Baug
tired of the things they have been saying
Eb
to the ones who are below them
A
I don’t recall that we were taught to treat them like we do now
Cm Baug
tired of being suppressed, I know that
Eb
one day we’ll be allowed to rest, but that ain’t now,
A
so stand up now, and teach them quite the lesson
[Chorus]
Bm E G# Gsus4 G
sometimes people like to show us just how powerful they are
Bm E G# Gsus4 G

Bm E G# Gsus4 G
this world is not what it was, no, but hang in there, just hold on
Bm E G# Gsus G
I know one day we can fix this, if you’re tired give a hand
[Verse 3]
Cm Baug
tired, no equality to live from
Eb
how are we supposed to breathe when our homeplace
A
is like an ocean, no, we can’t stop drowning.
Cm
tired of these wars and these attacks,
Baug Eb
why can’t we love one another like there’s no races,
A
there’s no skintones? let’s move on from that now.
