[Verse 1]
[D]Ladies and gen[A]tlemen,
poison [Bm]doesn't always come in bottles.
[D]And it isn't always marked
with the skull and crossbones [Bm]of danger.

[A]an d phrases [Bm]and acts.
The [A]venom of [Bm]ra cial
and religious [Asus4]hatred.[D]

[Bm]Here [A]in the Uni[Bm]ted States,
[D]perhaps [A]more than ever before,
[D]we [Bm]must lea[A]rn to recognize
[Bm]the poison of preju[Asus4]dice
an[D]d to d[Bm]is cover the antidote

As for the antidote
