[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am]

[Verse 1]
Take [Am]a break against the wall
[Em]of this blac[Am]k glass roofing peg
You've been in here far too [Em]long,
you're get[Am]ting sick,
you're getting sick
They boarded up your buildings
[Em]Bound [Am]you without chains
In the ruins of your [Em]liberty
You'll [Am]go insane, you'll go insane
[D]When will you [C]learn [Em]how [G]to r[Am]ise?
[D]When will we lea[C]rn how[Em] to rise[Am]?
They keep you digging at the tips
[Em]Your blood[Am] runs from your eyes
[Em]Ruined [Am]you with promises
[Em]City [Am]lies, city lies
Driven to the burn and blame
[Em]You've [Am]been deceived again
You own yourselves with charity
Well, charity won't set you free
[D]When will you [C]learn how [Am]to rise?
[D]When will we [C]learn how [G]to [Em]rise[Am]?
Circles and your crosses drawn,
[G]broken [Am]bottles sang
Hear the revolution [Em]songin',
[Am]hear them ringin',
hear them ringin'
Buildings fall in revelry,
[Em]in all t[Am]heir rows of steel
A banker drunk on [Em]usuries,
[Am]made to kneel, yeah, made to kneel
[D]When will you [C]learn how [Em]to r[Am]ise?
[D]When will we [C]learn how
[Em]to rise?[Am][F][G][Am]
What is this called?
The slave ship sails bottom streets covered in
refuse [E]tum[Am]bling illiterate streets
mumbled nights in a vacuum
walls [A]step [Am]inside
This great fortress
[A]No [Am]one hears you howling
Outside
Step inside
[A]This [Am]great fortress
And raise Your voices louder
Can you raise your voices louder?
Can you raise [C]your[Am][C]
[D]When will you lea[C]rn how to ris[Am]e?[A]
[Am]When [D]will we lea[C]rn how to ris[Am]e?[A][Am]
[D][C][Am][A][Am][D][C][Am]
