     B                           D 
It's time for some real world politics,
   A                           B 
economics, history, math and English.

Born and raised and bred walking a thin line,
         D 
between lost and succeeding and don't ever care about.
      A 
The rules aren't changing it if you really tell it like it is
B                                               A   D  A 
Threats always been there, terror always happens.
G                        B             A       D 
For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said.
        A             G           B    A 
All we have is these pictures of us.
       D              A            G           B   A 
If it doesn't matter now then it never really did,
      D             A                 G     A 
And without this we might as well be dead.

INTRO

             B 
They're all black and white people,
             D 
and that doesn't have anything to do with us.
      A 
After all these years it's still an arms race,
B 
after all these years they still don't fucking get it.
                                               D 
Lives and cultures matter more than capitalist interest.
                        A                        B                 A   D  A 
It's the FBI; it's the CIA; it's the ATM, the IMF, NBC, CBS. Fuck you.
     G                  B              A           D 
For all the fights, for all the songs, all we said.
       A               G          B   A 
All we have is these pictures of us.
       D               A          G            B   A 
If it doesn't matter now then it never really did,
      D              A               G      B  A 
And without this we might as well be dead.
             D          A                   G        
A 
When you are so hungry that you'd believe anything.
              D               A           G          
A 
Well they're selling you the politics of starving.
     D                        A             B 
And what the fuck does that really mean to us?
