they made me want [C]to kill
Just to be free
They beat me,
[Bb]they took away my freedom
They took away my [C]dignity
They tried to destroy my soul
by breakin' my heart
[Bb]They tried to change what I believed
By breakin' my very will to live
[C]Drove me, they hounded me
I [Bb]was beaten, I was driven
I was thrown in jail for the things that I said
I [C]got a million thoughts runnin' in my head
I got [Bb]a million words,
that my mouth has just got to [Bb]say
[C]I gotta speak out, I gotta speak o[Bb]ut
I'm gonna reach out
[Bb]and touch your [Bb]heart[C]
Before they tear us, tear us apart
I gotta tell you about the lies
I think I know why you cry
