Awakening Americans (Cifrada)

Ton: E major



E                                A
We watch movies of murder and we censor the breast 
E                                A
Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus 
E                                A
We kill our own and we vote for the man
E                                A
The lesser of evils and us starring in the role of victim 


B                            A
I wonder how we change if we can in this land 
B                               A           
I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we band together 
G             D       E
Us priveleged Americans 


E                              A
We pass our revisions onto the next generation 
E                        A
We kneel to the gods of corporation 
E                      A
We eat when we're full and we hord all the rest 
E                       A
With our hands on remotes we say "Yes, we're the best!" 


B                                 A
I wonder what we'd change in this land cause we can
B                                 A
Even with western centricity this rampant 
G       D        E
Us ugly Americans 


F#dim           E
Tied are not my hands
F#dim           E
But see strangers and lineaments
F#dim           G
As part of me; as you
            B                E
For me this awakening Canadian 


E                           A
We teach our offspring for themselves; every man
E                           A
We shrug our shoulders and create yet another "ism" 
E                           A
We dissuade our young from using their imagination 
E                           A
We avert our eyes from this Our very own manifestation 


B                                 A
I wonder what will change in this land, cause we can
B                                 A
I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together
   G        D         E...
Us awakening Americans
