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