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