[Verse 1]
He said [Em]"Man,
there's got to be a [D]plan
There's always been a plan
What's happening ain't [Em]right
We can't let go of our [D]power
'Cause we're rich and we're
straight and we're white
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Content with our sins
But [Em]don't you go calling
us selfish
[D]Comfortable in our own skin
As [G]long as it doesn't touch
[B]anyone else's

[Verse 3]
[Em]Time to beat down [D]the dust
[Bm]Can't have it dragging us [A]down
[Em]Can't have it clinging to [D]us
[A]Can't have it turning us
[Em]brown"

[A]He [Em]said "Man has always
been the [D]man

They don't need to under[D]stand
As long as we make them
Believe that they're [Em]free

[Verse 5]
And [D]keep everyone scared
That [Em]something's being taken away
[D]That's the only way to [G]keep
Things 'Back in [Bm]the [B]day'[Em]"

Time to beat down [D]the dust
[Bm]Can 't have it dragging us d[A]own
[Em]Can't have it clinging to [D]us

[Verse 7]
And [D]when the day finally comes
[Em]We'll be so far away
[D]They'll never know what we stole
[Em]It'll be all hidden away
[D]We can supply our own energy
God [Em]knows we own enough companies
[D]Maybe even start our own country
Where [G]all rich, white men are [B]free

[Verse 8]
[Em]Time to beat down [D]the dust
Can[Bm]'t have it dragging us do[A]wn

[Em]Time to beat down [D]the dust
[A]Keep it off you and [Em]me

[Em]Time to beat down [D]the dust
[A]Keep it off you and [Em]me
