[C] Don't want to read the paper, [Am] I don't like bad news
[D] Last night a man got shot, [G] Outside the house of blues
[C] I'd like to ignore it, [Am] I'd like to just pretend
[D] That the reason for it, [G] Is something I can comprehend
[C] I don't listen to the radio [Am] Last time it made me cry
[D] Two boys went crazy, [G] Fifteen kids died
[C] And I don't know their families
[Am] I don't ask them how they're going
[D] They're on the other side of the world
[G] But it's way too close to home
[F] I've got something to say
[C] And I thought it might be worth a mention
[D] If you're not pissed off at the world
[G] Then you're just not payin' attention
[F] You can turn off the TV [C] And go about you're day
[D] But just cause you can't see it [G] It don't mean it's gone away
[C] We don't talk to our neighbours [Am] They've got funny coloured skin
[D] We see them out on the sidewalk [G] But we don't invite them in
[C] We only eat when we're hungry [Am] And we throw the rest away
[D] While babies in Cambodia [G] are starving every day
[C] We risk our lives we hit our wives [Am] we act like everything is funny
[D] We hid our pain while we go insane [G] We sell our souls for money
[C] We curse our mums we build our bombs
[Am] We make our children cry
[D] We watch the band while Vietnam [G] Just watch their children die
[F] I've got something to say
[C] And I thought it might be worth a mention
[D] If you're not pissed off at the world
[G] Then you're just not payin' attention
[F] You can turn off the TV [C] and go about your day
[D] But just cause you don't see it [G] it don't mean it's gone away
It won't go away [x 9]
Make it go away
