  C                 F
A bomb falls down a kid cries out
Am                   G
  We need freedom we need it now
  C             F
A bill is past another is raised
    Am                        G
Our pockets are empty but our taxes are paid
    C                         F
The minds of the children are empty
          Am                          G
Cause the teachers just there for the check
     C                         F
Well today is the day where we need to say
         Am                   G
"Give me freedom or give me death"

[Chorus]
C              F                Am         G
  We've waited far too long and now we're ... fucked

     C             F                Am            G
Your hiding in the shadows of those monuments you built
  C                 F
Enslave the poor protect the rich
    Am                  G
And make our nightmares seem so real
C                        F
  Messin' 'round hangin' out with my friends
    Am                     G
You come around lurkin' to give us problems
      C                F
We're sick of it we've had enough
Am                      G
Puttin' us down just so you can look tough

[Chorus]
C              F                Am         G
  We've waited far too long and now we're ... fucked

C F Am G

           C
Drop their bombs over Boston
          F
Put their tanks in New York
        Am
They've already got their navy stationed
   G
In every port
        C
You can forget about Houston
          F
The dirty south will be gone
     Am
From third ward to fifth ward
      G
It'll be like Vietnam
     C            F
It's up to us to unite the rest
              Am
No matter the age, No matter the race
              G
No matter the gang or the sex
     C
It's time to stand up
        F
For the freedom fight
  Am                                    G
Instead of their beer we'll drink their blood tonight

(Fast again)
    C
The blood of the police
     F
That put us so low
    Am                         G
The blood of the wealthy so content in their homes
    C
The blood of the bosses
       F
That denied us those jobs
      Am
We'll drink it with all
          G
Who've so plainly been robbed

[Chorus]
C              F                Am         G
  We've waited far too long and now we're ... fucked

[Bridge]
(pick up speed each time)
    C
You cheat, you lie, you steal, you kill
       F
You're holding us against our will
    Am
And if we should try to escape
       G
You'll grab your guns and shoot away

    C
You cheat, you lie, you steal, you kill
       F
You're holding us against our will
    Am
And if we should try to escape
       G
You'll grab your guns and shoot away

    C
You cheat, you lie, you steal, you kill
       F
You're holding us against our will
    Am
And if we should try to escape
       G
You'll grab your guns and shoot away

    C
You cheat, you lie, you steal, you kill
       F
You're holding us against our will
    Am
And if we should try to escape
       G
You'll grab your guns and shoot away

 We've waited far to long and

 We've waited far to long and

The time is now to change things

[Outro]
C                     F Am G
  We've waited far to looong
                   C
To change things

                      F Am G
  We've waited far to looong
                   C
To change things

  We've waited far to looong
N.C.                   
To change things
