[Verse 1]
[Am]Clos[F]e your mind[Em]
[Am]Close your eyes, see with your heart[F]

We [F]came through the storm,
nooses on our [Em]necks

[Em]Wake up[Am], the alarm clock is
connected to a bomb
[F]Anthrax lab on a West Virginia [Em]farm
[Am]Shorty ain't learned to walk,
already heavily armed
Civilians and little children is

Now the [F]poor Klu Klux man say

[E]With [Am]the seconds running

Just imagine a American- [Dm]based
Chris[Am]tian organiza[F]tion
[Em]Planning to pois[Am]on water supplies to
