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