[Verse]
  G       F#          Em       D
A grizzly scene on my electron beam
       C      Bm         D
Told a story about human rights
   G              F#         Em             D
So all the King's horses and all the King's men
      C        Bm  C    Bm  D
Had a riot for two days and nights
          G      F#             Em             D
Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open
       C       Bm            D
So the company asked them to quit
    G    F#     Em      C
Now everybody's equal
C          D       G
Just don't measure it

G G F# Em C C D G G

      G      F#        Em     D
Well, Hanson did it to Hester
    C          Bm        D
And Mark David did it to John
    G          F#        Em      D
And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn
       D         C     Bm C Bm D
But he did it to South Vietnam
    G   F#     Em    D
For beauty and glory
    C      Bm        D
For money, love, and country
    G    F#     Em    C
Now everybody's doing it
C        D       G
Don't do that to me

G G F# Em C C D G G

  G        F#         Em       D
A bitter debate and a feminine fate
       C           Bm           D
Lie in tandem like two precious babes
          G           F#               Em          D
While the former gets warmer, it's the latter that matters
  C           Bm          D
Except on the nation's airwaves
       G          F#     Em             D
And custodians of public opinion stayed back
      C         Bm          D
After vainly discussing her rights
    G     F#      Em   C
Lay hands off her body
     C        D       G
It's not your fucking life

G G F# Em C C D G G

    G            F#           Em           D
Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ
             C            Bm         D
From turning every hungry stone into bread
      G              F#          Em      D
And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted
         C             Bm         D
When the innocent firstborn sons lay dead
        G               F#         Em
Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative
D                C        Bm         D
Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea
    G    F#     Em      C
Now everybody's praying
C     D       G    G
Don't pray on me
     G    F#     Em   C
Said everybody's praying
C     D       G
Don't pray on me
