E B E A E B E
[Verse 1]
               E
Well, have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
                                 B
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
       E
If you don't know what I mean,
          A
Won't you stand up and scream?
               E            B                 E
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know.
[Interlude]
E B E A E B E
E B E A E B E
[Verse 2]
         E
Too many lives they've spent across the ocean.
                                   B
Too much money been spent upon the moon.
        E
Well, until they make it right
            A
I hope they never sleep at night
            E         B
They better make some changes
          E
And do it soon.

They're goin ruin the air we breathe, Lord have mercy.
                                  B
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by.
                E
I'm telling you all beware
        A
I don't think they really care
              E          B
I think they just sit up there
             E
And just get high.
[Interlude]

Have you ever lived down in that ghetto?

Won't you stand up and scream?

'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know.

Well, if you don't know what I mean,

Won't you stand up and scream?
