Capo 4

G C9 G C9

Oh great mammon of form and function

Careless consumerist consumption

Dangerous dysfunction

Described as expensive taste

Im a people disgraced

By what I claim I need and what I want to waste

I take no account for nothing

If its not mine

Its a misappropriation of funds

Protect my ninety percent with my guns

Whose side am I on?

Well whos winning?

My kingdoms built with the blood of slaves

Orphans, widows, and homeless graves

G C9

I sold their souls just to build my private mansion

Some people say that my time is coming

Kingdom come is the justice running

G C9

Down, down, down on me

D C9

Im a poor child, Im a lost son

G C9

I refuse to give my love to anyone

Fight for the truth,

Or help the weaker ones

Fadd9 G C

Because I love my Babylon

D C9

I am a slave, I was never free

I betrayed you for blood money

Come to me, and find your life

Children sing, Zions in sight

I said dont trade your name for a serial number

C9 G

Priceless lives were born from under graves

Where I found you

Say, my name aint yours and yours is not mine

C9 G

Mine is the Lord, and yours is my child

Thats how its always been

Time to make a change leave your home

Give to the poor all that you own

G C9

Lose your life, so that you could find it

First will be last when the true world comes

Livin like a humble fool to overcome

The upside-down wisdom

Of a dying world

Zions not built with hands

And in this place God will dwell with man

Sick be healed and cripples stand

Sing Allelu

My kingdoms built with the blood of my son

Selfless sacrifice for everyone

G C9

Faith, hope, love, and harmony

I said let this world know me by your love

By your love

G C9

By your love

D C9

Oh my child, daughters and sons

G C9

I made you in love to overcome

D C9

Free as a bird, my flowers in the sun

Fadd9 G C

On your way to Mount Zion

D C9

All you slaves, be set free

G C9

Come on out child and come on home to me

D C9

We will dance, we will rejoice

Fadd9 G C

If you can hear me then follow my voice
