G# D# G# Fm
There is no time to discuss or debate
C# D# G#
What is right, what is wrong for our people
G# D# G# Fm
Time has run out for all those who wait
C# D# G#
With bent limbs and minds that are feeble
Chorus:
G# Fm C# D#
And the rain falls and blows through their window
G# Fm C# D#
And the snow falls and blows through their door
G# Fm C# D#
And the seasons revolve 'mid their sounds of starvation
G# Fm C# G#
When the tides rise, they cover the floor
G# D# G# Fm
And they come from the north and they come from the south
C# D# G#
And they come from the hills and they valleys
G# D# G# Fm
And they're migrants and farmers and miners and humans
C# D# G#
Our census neglected to tally
chorus
G# D# G# Fm
And they're African, Mexican, Caucasian, Indian
C# D# G#
Hungry and hopeless Americans
G# D# G# Fm
The orphans of wealth and of adequate health
C# D# G#
Disowned by this nation they live in
G# D# G# Fm
And with weather-worn hands On bread lines they stand
C# D# G#
Yet but one more degradation
G# D# G# Fm
Yes, and they're treated like tramps While we sell them food stamps
C# D# G#
This thriving and prosperous nation
Chorus
G# D# G# Fm
And with roaches and rickets and rats in the thickets
C# D# G#
Infested, diseased, and decaying
G# D# G# Fm
With rags and no shoes and skin sores that ooze
C# D# G#
By the poisonous pools they are playing
G# D# G# Fm
In shacks of two rooms that are rotting wood tombs
C# D# G#
With corpses breathing inside them
G# D# G# Fm
Yes, and we pity their plight as they call in the night
C# D# G#
And we do all that we can do to hide them
outro:
G# Fm C# D#
And the rain falls and blows through their window
G# Fm C# D#
And the snow falls in white drifts that fall
G# Fm C# D#
and the tides rise, with floods in the nursery
G# Fm
and a child is crying
C# D#
hes hungry and cold
C# D#
his life has been sold
C# D#
his young face looks old
C# D# G#
its the face of america dying
