C Don't want to read the paper, Am I don't like bad news
D Last night a man got shot, G Outside the house of blues
C I'd like to ignore it, Am I'd like to just pretend
D That the reason for it, G Is something I can comprehend
C I don't listen to the radio Am Last time it made me cry
D Two boys went crazy, G Fifteen kids died
C And I don't know their families
Am I don't ask them how they're going
D They're on the other side of the world
G But it's way too close to home
F I've got something to say
C And I thought it might be worth a mention
D If you're not pissed off at the world
G Then you're just not payin' attention
F You can turn off the TV C And go about you're day
D But just cause you can't see it G It don't mean it's gone away
C We don't talk to our neighbours Am They've got funny coloured skin
D We see them out on the sidewalk G But we don't invite them in
C We only eat when we're hungry Am And we throw the rest away
D While babies in Cambodia G are starving every day
C We risk our lives we hit our wives Am we act like everything is funny
D We hid our pain while we go insane G We sell our souls for money
C We curse our mums we build our bombs
Am We make our children cry
D We watch the band while Vietnam G Just watch their children die
F I've got something to say
C And I thought it might be worth a mention
D If you're not pissed off at the world
G Then you're just not payin' attention
F You can turn off the TV C and go about your day
D But just cause you don't see it G it don't mean it's gone away
It won't go away x 9
Make it go away
