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