F# C#/F D'you wear a F#black armband when they A#mshot the man
Who saidD#m peace could last forever?
And in my F#first memories, they shotA#m Kennedy
D#mI went numb when I learned to see
So I F#never fell for A#mVietnam
We got the D#mwall in D. C. to remind us all
That you F#can't trust freedom when it's A#mnot in your hands
When D#meverybody's fightin' for their proB/F#mised land

With no F#love of God or C#/Fhuman rights

By F#bloody hands of the hypnotized C#/F
Who D#mcarry the cross of homicide
And F#history bears the scarsC#/F of our civil wars
