Outraged

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged.               I've been this way for years

E        B7            knowin' the corruption           reaps death and all these tears.

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged.  I know I'm not alone    

E        B7  E       ever since the President          robbed our home.

A        E              Took our pensions     and our children            and sent them to his war.

E        B7  E       Outraged, outraged                'cause I know there's so much, so much more.

 

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged.               It's still goin' on.

E        B7            After all the evidence it's obvious it's wrong.

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged.               Unless you are a friend 

E        B7  E       of powerful people                 who wanna control the land.

A        E              Take our labor           and their oil,                  perpetuating war.

E        B7  E       Outraged, outraged                'cause I know there's so much, so much more.

 

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged,               I can't believe it's gone this far.

E        B7            I guess it's no surprise, though, we'd elect another liar.

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged.               Building up our debt,

E        B7  E       building bombs then dropping them.   Countless now are dead.

A        E              Taking lives               and passing lies.            Profiting from war.

E        B7  E       Outraged, outraged                'cause I know there's so much, so much more.

 

Chorus:

A Ab Gbm    B    E     How do we shake up                            and make them disappear?

A Ab Gbm    A    E     How can we smack them down            to stop all these tears?

Gbm    B    A    B        Where are my Representatives?            I won't let them get away.

A    B        E                After knowing what they've done          they're gonna pay.

 

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged.               Nixon was impeached

E        B7            for doin less they took him down.  Justice was reached.

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged.               Bush and Cheney have got to go

E        B7  E       for breaking the oath of office:  The Constitution to uphold.

A        E              Take life away                       and liberty        in the pursuit of war.

E        B7  E       Outraged, outraged                'cause I know there's so much, so much more.

 

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged                'cause freedom of speech

E        B7            now includes paying   politicians like a leach.

E        A    E       Outraged, outraged                'cause a right to a jury

E        B7  E       can be suspended                  like your right to privacy.

A        E              Take away    our right to organize                  against their war.

E        B7  E       Outraged, outraged                'cause I know there's so much, so much more.
