[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
 CI don't listen to the radio  AmLast time it made me cry
 DTwo boys went crazy,  GFifteen kids died
 CAnd I don't know their families 
 AmI don't ask them how they're going
 DThey're on the other side of the world 
 GBut it's way too close to home
 FI've got something to say 
 CAnd I thought it might be worth a mention
 DIf you're not pissed off at the world 
 GThen you're just not payin' attention
 FYou can turn off the TV  CAnd go about you're day
 DBut just cause you can't see it  GIt don't mean it's gone away
 CWe don't talk to our neighbours  AmThey've got funny coloured skin
 DWe see them out on the sidewalk  GBut we don't invite them in
 CWe only eat when we're hungry  AmAnd we throw the rest away
 DWhile babies in Cambodia  Gare starving every day
 CWe risk our lives we hit our wives  Amwe act like everything is funny
 DWe hid our pain while we go insane  GWe sell our souls for money
 CWe curse our mums we build our bombs
 AmWe make our children cry
 DWe watch the band while Vietnam  GJust watch their children die
 FI've got something to say 
 CAnd I thought it might be worth a mention
 DIf you're not pissed off at the world 
 GThen you're just not payin' attention
 FYou can turn off the TV  Cand go about your day
 DBut just cause you don't see it  Git don't mean it's gone away
