While they're standing in the welfare lines  
G             Cadd9                Em            D Dsus4  
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation  
G       Cadd9            Em             D    Dsus4  
Wasting time in the enemployment lines  
G       Cadd9       Em           D Dsus4  
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Poor people gonna rise up

And get their share  
G           Cadd9          Em  
Poor people gonna rise up  
D Dsus4     G       Cadd9  Em  D Dsus4

           Cadd9         Em  D Dsus4 G Cadd9  Em  D Dsus4

Run, run, run, run...
