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