Tonalidad: E major
Verse 1
D
You know I ain't trying to preach,
just addressing
when something ain't right to me.
It's like it's all a silent war
waged by the beast
with Mark Duggan getting
slayed by police.
They did independent investigations
E
but the story kept changing,
F
C
D
an d people wanted answers
G
D
C
so of course they're less patient.
D
Sick of all these authorities
F
ignoring them statements
Still it's almost forgotten
E
and the story gets ancient
F
C
D
So they took it to the streets
G
D
as a peaceful protest
F
C
D
But at keeping the peace
C
the police were hopeless
D
Like his family weren't
worthy of the hassle
F
But that's how things went
further than they had to
C
D
At first remaining quite calm,
G
D
but were they polite?
E
F
C
D
They formed a barricade out front
G
D
C
and stayed there like scars
G
D
Making life hard with the attitude
F
of a bunch of armed rednecks
C
Yelling stay off my grass
D
G
D
Em
And this made a peaceful crowd angry
F
C
D
which caused the young lady
C
D
to get beaten down badly by those
who swore before to enforce the law
F
see this was bound to
cause a war for sure,
D
Dm
F
learn a lesson
Dm
D
ri ot or looting
is the sound of every word now where
shops are getting ransacked
and houses getting burned down
crowds are getting hurt
Dm
F
we're hearing how it's getting worse now and innocent
people lost all the thousands that they earned
D
Wow, TV and radio are speaking about it
News spreading already
through the media outlets
Got us reading about kids and teens
Dm
trying to rob the children
F
But that's the news flashing green lights,
not opportunists
D
Dm
You probably do it just to aid them needs
D
So all the stomach rumble
days can cease
Working 24 -7,
never getting any wage increase
Dm
F
Having to lie to fuel collectors,
say you'll pay next week
D
Or you're a student trying
to make ends meet
Still feeling sore, been ignored
since they raised them feet
For 30 years the lower class have grown
to learn they can't take their greed
Dm
F
So bait MPs you should be in the HMP
D
And while the banks are getting
trouble in the bailout
Yeah you do the same
and the government will
stuff you in a jailhouse
So anger built up, silent at first
F
Now found the time to be heard
Dm
D
And community funding being cut
We're saving them babies
So for four days the nation
went crazy
Government leaders all claiming
Dm
this is serious business
F
But what do they care?
They ain't even here to witness
Dm
D
The law allowing this madness
as they do nothing
It's like they're also out
to prove something
But how the system's portrayed,
Dm
we understood that could never happen
F
It's almost like someone stood back
and let it happen
D
While we're steady forgetting
things we should remember
Like why this all started
in political agendas
It's definitely fuckery
F
When there's still 300 plus unsold
D
cases of death in police custody

The truth's there but who cares?
