[Verse]
  G                              D
Injustice on its knees underground
               C                  D
The clawed-out tonnage is to our detriment
         G       D
In these clarty surrounds
     C                       D
The combined earnings of our tenements
      G               D
Won't stretch to many rounds
              C             D
And yet we're striving to be counted
     G                  D
We'll fight for what is right
          C                              D
And we'll strike for what is rightfully ours
           G             D
And I want better for my boy
           C                D                                  
To bury my father in dry, consecrated ground

              G               D             C              D

Rise (above the gutter you are inside)
