Hey there, Mister Black Man, can you hear me?

I don't want your diamonds or your game.
D                          Em               C

Seven hundred million are you listening?
C                                G
Most of what you read is made of lies.
D                             Em          C
Speaking one to one, ain't it everybody's sun?..
C                 D               G
to wake to in the morning when we rise.

Brother Yareshenko are you busy?
   C                             G
If not would you drop a friend a line?
D                          Em              C
Tell me if the man, who is plowing up your land,

has got the war machine upon his mind.

Like presidents, prime ministers and kings.
    D                                
So, let's all build them shelves where they can 
Em              C
fight among themselves..
    C                D               G
and leave the people be, who want to sing.
