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
/Cb /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#/Cb
Don't speak to me of your patriotism
C# G#/Cb
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.
