Verse 1: 
Am                                       C                               Dm7         E7
We're dancing free but we're stuck here underground 

And everybody trying to figure they way out 
Am                                       C                               Dm7         E7
Hey hey hey, all we ever wanted to say 

Was chased erased and then thrown away 
Am                                       C                               Dm7         E7
And day to day we live in a daze 

Refrain: 

We march all around til' the sun goes down night children 

Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom (for freedom) 

You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind 

Chorus: 
Am                               C                              
Oh make it rain, ain't a thang and the sky to fall 
 Dm7                                E7
(the silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up) 
Am                                       C                              
And when the truth goes bang the shouts splatter out 
Dm7                       E7
(revolutionize your lives and find a way out) 
Am                                       C                              
And when you're growing down instead of growing up 
Dm7                    E7
(you gotta ooo ah ah like a panther) 
Am                                       C                               Dm7         E7
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love? 
Am          C                              
(na na na...) 

                 Dm7         E7
He lived in sector 10, 
                                    Am             C                              
He had a friend named Benjamin
                                Dm7    E7
Sail away, sail away, Susan

2nd verse: 
Am                C                              
So strong for so long 
Dm7                                E7
All i wanna do is sing my simple song 
Am                       C
Square or round, rich or poor 
Dm7                                             E7
At the end of day and night all we want is more 
Am           C                               Dm7                             E7
I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around 
Am           C                               Dm7         E7
I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom 
Am                  C                               Dm7         E7
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind 

Chorus 

Cybernetic chantdown: 
Civil rights, civil war 
Hood rat, crack whore 
Carefree, nightclub 
Closet drunk, bathtub 
Outcast, weirdo 
Stepchild, freak show 
Black girl, bad hair 
Broad nose, cold stare 
Tap shoes, broadway 
Tuxedo, holiday 
Creative black, love song 
Stupid words, erased song 
Gun shots, orange house 
Dead man walking with a dirty mouth 
Spoiled milk, stale bread 
Welfare, bubonic plague 
Record deal, light bulb 
Keep back kid not corporate thug 
Breast cancer, common cold 
Hiv, lost hope 
Overweight, self esteem 
Misfit, broken dream 
Fish tank, small bowl 
Closed mind, dark hold 
Cybergirl, droid control 
Get away now they trying to steal your soul 
Microphone, one stage 
Tomboy, outrage 
Street fight, bloody war 
Instigators, third floor 
Promiscuous child, broken dream 
Std, quarentine 
Heroin user, coke head 
Final chapter, death bed 
Plastic sweat, metal skin 
Metallic tears, mannequin 
Carefree, night club 
Closet drunk, bathtub 
White house, jim crow 
Dirty lies, my regards 

Closing lullaby: 
And when the world just treats you wrong 
Just come with me and i'll take you home 
No need to pack a bag 
Who put your life in the danger zone? 
You running dropping like a rolling stone 
No need to pack a bag 
You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on 
The old man dies and then a baby's born 
Chan, chan, chan, change your life 
And when the world just treats you wrong 
Just come with me and i'll take you home 
Shan, shan shan shan-gri la 
Na na na na na na na na na na na.
