Verse
C# F#
Are people still lynched in America – and what happens when they die
G# C#
When he begged for his mother to save him, was he resisting arrest when he cried
F#
And how does the lynch mob roam free, when we already know who they are
G# C#
The men who murdered George Floyd, and then drove off in their police cars
F#
To live with such savage injustice, with every new day the Earth turns
G# C#
I'm left with no reason to wonder, as I watch Minneapolis burn
[Verse]
F#
Are people still lynched in America – how many just in the past weeks
G# C#
From Georgia to Minnesota, as the pandemic spikes and peaks
F#
Did you see him pinned down for eight minutes, did you see the knee on his neck
G# C#
Did you see the police station on fire, did you smell the smoldering wreck
F#
As the National Guard marches in, watch the wheels of history churn
G# C#
In the land of Philando Castille, as we watch Minneapolis burn
[Verse]
F#
Are people still lynched in America – and do the poor still die of disease
G# C#
Are the prisons still full of debtors, do bodies still hang from the trees
F#
Do the workers still live by the highways, still struggle to come up with rent
G# C#
Do families still get evicted, when the last of their credit is spent
F#
Do you see all the people who just had to find out what might there be left to learn
G# C#
From the flames that rise from the Target, as we watch Minneapolis burn
[Outro]
F#
Are people still lynched in America – and what happens when they die
G# C#
When he begged for his mother to save him, was he resisting arrest when he cried
