Verse
E A
Are people still lynched in America – and what happens when they die
B E
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
B E
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
B E
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
B E
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
B E
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
B E
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
B E
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
B E
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
B E
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
B E
When he begged for his mother to save him, was he resisting arrest when he cried
