[INTRO]
A   G   D(X 4)
APeople on the street now, Dfaces long and grim
ASouls are feeling heavy and Dfaith is Ggrowing thin
AFears are getting stronger Dyou can feel them on the rise
AHopelessness got some by the throat you can Dsee it in their eyes
I said Ahow come G   D   AHow comGeD  
AEverybody on a shoestring, Deverybody in a hole
AEverybody on an old jet plane Dcrossing their fingers and Gtoes
AGovernment man spin his Dpolitics till they got you pinned
AEverybody trying to reach out to each other
But they Ddon't know where to begin
[CHORUS]
I said Ahow come, I can't tell the Dfree world from living hell
I said Ahow comGeD  
AHow come all I see is a Dchild of god in misery
A   G   D   A   G   D(X 2)
I said how come
AThe pistol now as prophet, Dthe bullet some kind of lord and king
But Apain is the only promise that this Dso called savior is Ggonna bring
ALove can be a liar and Djustice can be a thief
AAnd freedom can be an empty cup from which Deverybody want to drink
[CHORUS]
I said Ahow come I can't tell the Dfree world from living hell
I said Ahow comGeD  
AHow come all i see is a Dchild of God in misery
I said Ahow comeG  D  
It's just Aman killing man
Killing man, Dkilling man, killing man
I don't Aunderstand itG  D  
It's just Aman killing man
Killing man, Dkilling man, killing man
I don't Aunderstand itG  D  
It's just Aman killing man
Killing man, DKilling man, Killing man
Killing man, AKilling man, Killing man
Killing Dman, Killing man
I don't Aunderstand it, I don't Dunderstand it
I don't Aunderstand it, I don't Dunderstand it
AHow come, I said Dhow come, AHow come, I said Dhow come
