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