[Verse]
G F# Em D
A grizzly scene on my electron beam
C Bm D
Told a story about human rights
G F# Em D
So all the King's horses and all the King's men
C Bm C Bm D
Had a riot for two days and nights
G F# Em D
Well, the city exploded but the gates wouldn't open
C Bm D
So the company asked them to quit
G F# Em C
Now everybody's equal
C D G
Just don't measure it
G G F# Em C C D G G
G F# Em D
Well, Hanson did it to Hester
C Bm D
And Mark David did it to John
G F# Em D
And maybe Jack did it to Marilyn
D C Bm C Bm D
But he did it to South Vietnam
G F# Em D
For beauty and glory
C Bm D
For money, love, and country
G F# Em C
Now everybody's doing it
C D G
Don't do that to me
G G F# Em C C D G G
G F# Em D
A bitter debate and a feminine fate
C Bm D
Lie in tandem like two precious babes
G F# Em D
While the former gets warmer, it's the latter that matters
C Bm D
Except on the nation's airwaves
G F# Em D
And custodians of public opinion stayed back
C Bm D
After vainly discussing her rights
G F# Em C
Lay hands off her body
C D G
It's not your fucking life
G G F# Em C C D G G
G F# Em D
Now I don't know what stopped Jesus Christ
C Bm D
From turning every hungry stone into bread
G F# Em D
And I don't remember hearing how Moses reacted
C Bm D
When the innocent firstborn sons lay dead
G F# Em
Well, I guess God was a lot more demonstrative
D C Bm D
Back when he flamboyantly parted the sea
G F# Em C
Now everybody's praying
C D G G
Don't pray on me
G F# Em C
Said everybody's praying
C D G
Don't pray on me
