E  F#m  E F#m

[Verse 1]
E
Who are you?  What have you become?
F#m
What have you done to this beautiful kingdom?
E
I don’t want your guns. I don’t want your poisons
F#m
I don’t want your weapons and tools of mass distractions
E
I don’t want your red flags. Don’t want your baggage.
F#m
I don’t want your hate speech - Your supremacy

E   F#m

[Verse 2]
E
Where are your wilds? Where is your rough edge?
F#m
Don’t tell me you’ve traded it for comfort and privilege
E
I don’t want your fast foods. I don’t need to buy shit
F#m
I don’t want your miles and miles of advertisements.

E   F#m

[Refrain]
E
So step up, speak out, show up, be loud
       F#m                A
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud
E
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud
         F#m              A
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud

[Verse 3]
E
Peace of mind or a piece of the pie
F#m
Nine to five living in a plastic empire
E
Where is the house for the wounded and homeless?
F#m
Can’t sleep in the streets; Can’t afford to own this

E
Everything is I, I, Me, Me, Mine, Mine
F#m
Busy working for the dollar while the well runs dry
E
Minimum wages. Maximum security
F#m
Simple pleasure traded for business and authority

E   F#m A

[Refrain]
E
So step up, speak out, show up, be loud
       F#m                A
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud
E
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud
         F#m              A
Step up, speak out, show up, be loud.
