today are [Am]big ger than life
You have recessions [C]and depressions
Men are cheating on their wives
Babies born each morn
With part of their bodies gone
Because of [Am]some [C]crazy drug that
their mothers was on
There's countries fighting, not uniting
Always put[Am]ting each other down
[F]Bla[Am]cks and whi[C]tes don't realize
That they're [Am]really pink and brown
You got gun joke, [G]cut joke
