Am F
As for the help you called for
Am C
Nobody seemed to answer
Am F
The difference in man is no more
Am C
Than being a priest or dancer
Am F
See men of power in recess
Am C
They really don't know what they're after
Am F
They drink to the things that they see best
Am C C-G-Am
And drown in the tears of their laughter
D
If you see fit to fight
Whether you're black or white
F G C Am
How many hope to keep the devil outside?
F G Am
How many hope to keep the devil outside?
Am F
You've been given your name and your number
Am C
Right from when you were a baby

I look at the earth and I wonder

What have they done to her lately?

If you see fit to fight
Whether you're black or white

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

Love dies hard, you will never hear me say

That the world will not see a better day
See a better day

If you see fit to hide
Mistakes of the men that died

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

Whether you're black or white
