[VERSE 1]
F#m       A           Bm                              C#m
       I woke up on Champs-Élysées to the Djembe of Ghana
       Yeah, a fine lady from Belize said "You got the spirit of Fela"
       Yeah, the young one dripping make-up lift her hands up to holla
       Well, I gave her what I got but couldn't handle her broken heart
       The right words in the hands of dissidents with the fire
       Yeah, will rip apart the marrow from the bone of the liars
       Yeah, well, I'm afraid of saying too much and ending a martyr
       But even more so I'm afraid to face God and say I was a coward, yeah

F#m       A           Bm                              C#m
     With all these things I wait for revelation
     These things make me want to duck for cover
     With all these things I wait for revolution    
F#m       A            Bm                          silence.
          These things ask the biggest question to me
And it's "are you what you want to be?"

       The war machine will put out both its hands for a dollar
       It's drinking at the table with the chrome hand guerrillas
       And the young one dripping make-up lift her leg up to holla
       Well, I told her what she's got should be protected in the arms of love
       The right things in the hands of dissidents with the fire
       Yeah, will rip apart the marrow from the bone of the liars
       And, well, I'm afraid of saying too much and ending a martyr
       But even more so I'm afraid to face God and say I was a coward, yeah
