[Verse 1]
[D]Every day they [Gm]take away
A little piece of you, a [D]little piece of me
[Gm]The good thing[D]s in l[Gm]ife are free[F]
No, they'll [Gm]never take that [D]away

[Interlude 1]
from me

[Verse 2]
[D]People, get up, get out of your cage
The ones that control you
aren't turning the page
Boiling the water,
that's been poured on your brow
Is the [Dm]same hot mess that
we're swimming in [D]now

[Verse 3]
And all of you racists can
[Gm]say what you want
But [F]soon they'll be coming for you
with [D]more than just guns
And I pray for the day
when the [Gm]power of love
Is [F]stronger than the knife that [D]cut us up

[Verse 4]

A little piece of you, a little piece of [D]me

[D]It's

[Verse 6]
a march of the pigs,
so [Gm]righteous beware
They'll [F]step on you here,
and they'll [D]step on you there
The oldest of lie to [Gm]ever been told
Put [F]fear in the heart of a
[D]wo man so bold

[Verse 7]
[D]And after the ashes [Gm]after the blood
[F]After the [Dm]wa ters rise u[D]p
from the flood
Who will you look for to [G]place the blame
[Gm]The me d[F]ia, the system,
the [D]ones with no name

[Verse 8]
It's the [D]long [G](long) con [Fm](con)
[D]Running, running
It's the long [G](long) con [Gm](con)
[Dm]Coming, coming
[D]Every

A little piece of you,
a little piece of [D]me
The good things in life are [Gm]free
