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