-- He's a leader - talks of freedom
F Em
-- He knows the power of the Big Idea
Am G
-- He's a dealer - he's a seeker
F Em
-- Of the power that comes from fear
Am G
-- He gave his life to the party machine
F Em
-- Holding on to a secret dream
Am G
-- He knows better than anyone
F Em
-- Power comes from the barrel of a gun
Am G
Of a gun - Of a gun - Of a gun - Of a gun
F Em
Of a gun - Of a gun - Of a gun - Of a gun

-- And so many are no longer here at all
Am G F Em
-- The hopes of yesterday drowning in shifting sands
Am G F Em
-- 'Cause something strange is going on across the land

-- Power gets us every time
Am G
-- The more things change
F Em
The more they stay the same

And they're rising up, rising up
