[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]All [Am]men are born equal
at the mo[G]ment they arrive
[Am]Check the limbs and senses
we re[G]quire to survive.
Some come [F]deaf and dumb and blinded.
Some have dam[Em]age to their brains.
Parents con[F]stantly reminded
That [Em]they'll never play the
normal [Dm]children's games
They may not be normal,
but they're people just the [Am]same
If
Christ had been born defective
To fulfil [G]the
Father's plan
Would he [Am]be as easily ac[G]cepted
Or does the [F]human value alter
In the [Em]crippled human frame?
Though the [F]tongue and fingers falter
Must we shut [Em]them out and shut them up
And shut the case and whisper
[Dm]such a shame?
That's how we shut them
[Am]away[G][Am][G]
[F][Em]
[F]You[Em][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]
Most of us are lucky,
free [G]from accidents of birth
But their [Am]victims share our rights
to the in[G]heritance of
Earth
For all their [F]grunts, their stomps, their tumors,
their in[Em]ternal wheelchairs
We're [F]the freaks, we're the inhumans
If we [Em]close our eyes and turn aside,
pretend that if we do they'll not be [Dm]there
They've gotta face [Am]it
[Dm]So we've got to face it
[Am]Still, [Dm]they've got to live with it
In a world we supposedly [Am]share
You
