Poverty
Em Em6 Em Em6
Is so hard to see
B7 F
When it's only on your tv and twenty miles across town
A2 A
Where we’re all living so good
A2 A Em Em6
That we moved out of Jesus’ neighborhood
Em Em6 Dmaj9 D2
Where he's hungry and not feeling so good
Dmaj9 E Esus E
From going through our trash
Dmaj9 D2 Dmaj9 D2
He says, more than just your cash and coin
B7
I want your time, I want your voice
Bm7b5
I want the things you just can't give me
So what must we do
Here in the west we want to follow you
We speak the language and we keep all the rules
Even a few we made up
Come on and follow me
But sell your house, sell your SUV
Sell your stocks, sell your security
And give it to the poor
What is this, hey what's the deal
I don't sleep around and I don't steal
I want the things you just can't give me
Dmaj9 D2 Dmaj9 D2
Because what you do to the least of these
B7
My brother's, you have done it to me
Bm7b5
Cause I want the things you just can't give me
