  			G                     F#                     Bm    
You tried to make me stay down upon my knees 
                 A                            D   
Tell me that I’m wrong and right is just a dream 

           Bm                D 
Someone has to pay, oh oh oh 
             Bm 
The American way 
                 A 
I should just go home 

You say I don’t make sense, I don’t know what I need 
And what I need is to lose democracy 

Someone has to pay, oh oh oh 
You are not to blame 
I should just go home 

    G             D             A 
But I do not believe you anymore 
   G             D                  A 
You’ve been lying to me for way too long 
   G           D                 A 
You exist for me, not the other way around 

We are not your children, you cannot tell 
Us to stay inside, we won’t ever go 
You can run but you can’t hide from us all 

You shove 78 down my throat and you 
You think I will not cough and spit it in your face 

We are not afraid, oh oh oh 
We will not behave nor will we go home 

I do not believe you any more 
You’ve been lying to me for way too long 
You exist for me, not the other way around 

We are not your children, you cannot tell 
Us to stay inside, we won’t ever go 
You can run but you can’t hide from us all
