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