The Great American Novel
Tono: Original
G C G
I was born and raised an orphan In a land that once was free
You are far across the ocean In a war that's not your own
Bm Am D
In a land that poured it's love out on the moon
And whilst you're winning theirs You're gonna lose the one at home
G C G
And I grew up in the shadows Of your silos filled with grain
Do you really think the only way To bring about the peace
Bm C G
But you never helped to fill my empty spoon
Is to sacrifice your children And kill all your enemies
G C G
And when I was ten you murdered law With courtroom politics
The politicians all make speeches While the news men all take note
Bm Am D G
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth But I know you better now ed
And they exagerate the issues As they shove it down our throats
C G
And I don't fall for all your tricks
Is it really up to them Whether this country sinks or floats
Bm C G
And you've lost the one advantage of my youth
And I wonder who would lead us If none of us would vote
G C G
You kill a black man at midnight Just for talking to your daughter
Well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped From whispering through the fence
Bm Am D
Then you make his wife your mistress And you leave her without water
You know every move I make Or is that just coincidence
G C G
And the sheet you wear upon your face Is the sheet your children sleep on
Well you try to make my way of life A little less like jail
Bm Am D (Dsus4)
And every meal you say a prayer You don't believe but still you keep on
If I promise to make tapes and slides And send them through the mail
(refrão)
C Csus D G C Csus D G
And your money says 'In God We Trust' But it's against the law to pray in
school
C Csus D G C Csus D G
You say we beat the Russians to the moon And I say you starved your children
to do it
(final)
C Csus D C C Csus D G
You say 'all men are equal all men are brothers Then why are the rich more
equal than others
C Csus A D G
Don't ask me for the answer I've only got one
C Csus D G
That a man leaves his darkness when he fol lows the Son
