[Intro 1]
[C][F][G][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]Moses came
down from a moun[F]tain
and he [G]couldn't believe [F]what he saw
[C]His people were worshipping idols
[F]and disobeying[G] the[F] Lord's own[C] law
[Am]But everything worked [F]out somehow,
so it [C]must have been part of the [G]plan.
[Am]Moses, he went back up t[F]hat mountain
and gave his [Dm]people a second chance.
[E]He said, you've got to
[A]throw down [D]your idols,
[A]see God is [E]one.
The [F#m]time h[C#m]as come to t[D]urn around
and to con[E]sider what [D]you've [A]done[D]
[G]Down [C]in the Simi Val[F]ley,
back in [G]1992[F]
[C]We saw a travesty of jus[F]tice,
but didn't [G]tell us a thing [F]that's [C]new
[Am]Our system isn't per[F]fect,
and we [C]haven't come so far
[G]Since the Phi[Am]lly clubs of Selma[F]
left their [Dm]bruises and their [E]scars
We've got to [A]throw down our [D]idols,
[A]see that we're [E]one
[F#m]The time ha[C#m]s come to tu[D]rn around
and to con[E]sider what [D]we've [A]done
[G]Trucker beaten half to [F#m]death
[D]just be[Esus4]cause his skin [A]was [E]white
[F#m]When are people gonna r[G]ealize
that [Bm]two wrongs can't make a[Esus4]nything right?
[E]You know you mee[F#m]t
violence with vi[D]olence,
it [A]only leads [E]to hate
[F#m]Sometimes it makes me [G]sad to think how [Bm]we
may already be much [Esus4]too late
[E]We've got [A]to throw down our [D]idols,
[A]see that we're [E]one
[F#m]The time ha[C#m]s come to tu[D]rn around
and to con[E]sider what [D]we've [A]done[D]
[G]Mos[C]es went up to the Pharaoh,[F]
he said, [G]let my people go
[E]You[Am] know you can[C]'t
keep us down forever,
[F]but sometimes fre[G]edom
can [F]come so [C]slow
[Am]Just like that Phara[F]oh,
we [C]know that the change will come
[G]But will it com[Am]e with und[F]erstanding?
Or with a [Dm]plague of the firstborn
son[E]s?
We've got [A]to throw down our [D]idols
[A]See that we're [E]one
[F#m]Time h[C#m]as come to t[D]urn around
And to con[E]sider what [D]we've done
[A]Throw down our [D]idols
[A]See that we're [E]one
[F#m]Time h[C#m]as come to t[D]urn around,
to con[E]sider what [D]we've [A]done[D]
So let's con[E]sider what [D]we've done
