	VERSE 1:
	        Em                   D  C
	There's colors on the street
	     Em             D  C
	Red, white and blue
	       Em                    D  C
	People shufflin' their feet
	       Em                       D  C
	People sleepin' in their shoes
	              Em                  D    C
	But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
	          Em
	There's a lot of people sayin'
	        D          C
	We'd be better off dead
	      Em
	Don't feel like satan
	      D     C
	But I am to them
	     Em                    D     C
	So I try to forget it, any way I can

	Em    D  C  (x4)


	VERSE 2:
	        Em                 D  C
	I see a woman in the night
	       Em                D  C
	With a baby in her hand
	         Em               D  C
	Under an old street light
	       Em          D  C
	Near a garbage can
	        Em
	Now she puts the kid away
	          D             C
	And she's gone to get a hit
	    Em
	She hates her life
	               D       C
	And what she's done to it
	       Em
	That's one more kid
	          D           C
	That will never go to school
	      Em
	Never get to fall in love
	      D         C
	Never get to be cool

	         Em                       D  C
	We got a thousand points of light
	        Em            D  C
	For the homeless man
	         Em                 D         C             Em    D  C
	We got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand
	       Em
	We got department stores
	    D      C
	And toilet paper
	    Em                      D     C
	Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
	      Em
	Got a man of the people
	     D         C

	Get roads to drive
