                          G6                 C9              D
It's creed of greed could not proceed if our struggle's to be one.
    G                 G6                     C9                 D

Jesus woke one morning, rode a donkey up through that gate.
                   G6                 C9                D
He could see quite clearly why he was going to meet his fate.
        G                     G6                C9               D
And the powers that be, could see that he could not be bought or sold.
     G                 G6                      C9                G
