G C D C C D G
G C D C
A grizzly scene on my electron beam
C D D
Told a story about human rights
G C D C
So all of Kings horses and all of Kings men
C D D
Had a riot for two days and nights
G C D C
Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open
C D D
So the company asked him to quit
G C D C
Now everybody's equal
C D G
just don't measure it
G C D C C D G
G C D C
Well Hanson did it to Hester
C D D
And Mark David did it to John
G C D C
and maybe Jack did it to Marilyn
C D D
But he did it to South Vietnam
G C D C
For beauty and glory
C D D
For money, love and country
G C D C
Now everybody's doing it
C D G
Don't do that to me
G C D C C D G
G C D C
A bitter debate and a feminine fate
C D D
Fly in tandem like two precious ?blades?
G C D C
A farmer gets warmer its the latter that matters
C D D
Except on the nation's airwaves
G C D C
And custodians of public opinion stay back
C D D
at the debate and discuss civil rights
G C D C
Lay hands off her body
C D G
Its not your fucking right
G C D C C D G
G C D C
Well I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ
C D D
From turning every hungry stone into bread
G C D C
And I don't remember how Moses reacted
C D D
When the innocent first born sons lay dead
G C D C
Well I guess God was a lot more demonstrative back
C D D
When He flamboyantly parted the sea
G C D C
Now everybody's praying
C D G
Don't prey on me
G C D C
Said everybody's praying
C D G
Don't prey on me
G C D C C D G
