Black Rage

Em Am D G Bm

[Verse 1]
Em
  Black rage is founded on two-thirds a person
Am
  Raping and beatings and suffering that worsens
Em            D        Bm    Am   G
  Black human packages tied up in strings
  Em                         Am            Bm
  Black rage can come from all these kinds of things.

Em
  Black rage is founded on blatant denial,
Am
  sweet economics, subsistent survival,
Em           D      Bm  Am         G
  deafening silence and social control,
  Em                      Am               Bm
  black rage is found in all forms in the soul,


[Chorus]
Em                  Am                   G                    Em
  When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad,
Am                                                     G                  Em
  I simply remember all these kinds of things, and then I don’t fear so bad


[Verse 2]
Em
  Black rage is founded who fed us self hatred
Am
  Lies and abuse while we waited and waited
  Em         D
  Spiritual treason
  Bm           Am        G
  This grid and it's cages
  Em                      Am              Bm
  Black rage was founded on these kinds of things

Em
  Black rage is founded on dreaming and draining
Am
  Threatening your freedom
  Em
  To stop your complaining
  D             Bm
  Poisoning your water
  Am                        G
  While they say it's raining
  Em                  Am                  Bm
  Then call you mad for complaining, complaining


Em
  Old time bureaucracy
Am
  Drugging the youth
  Em
  Black rage is founded on blocking the truth
  D
  Murder and crime
  Bm             Am
  Compromise and distortion
  G          Em
  Sacrifice, sacrifice
  Am           Bm
  Who makes this fortune?
  Em                   D
  Greed, falsely called progress
  Bm         Am       G
  Such human contortion
  Em                      Am              Bm
  Black rage is founded on these kinds of things


[Chorus]
Em                  Am                   G                    Em
  When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad,
Am                                                     G                  Em
  I simply remember all these kinds of things, and then I don’t fear so bad
