B 
What's your plan for tomorrow 
E                                  B 
Are you a leader or will you follow 
E                                  B 
Are you a fighter or will you cower 
          G#                     F# 
It's our time to take back the power 

B 
Whatcha gonna do 
E                           B 
When they show up in black suits 
E                        B 
On your street in army boots 
             G#              F# 
And they're there to silence you 
B 
Whatcha gonna say 
E                            B 
When they strip your rights away 
E                         B 
And the taxman makes you pay 
           G#                      F# 
For every bead of sweat you bled today 

D#                        E  B 
We don't need to run and hide 
D#                             E F# 
We won't be pushed off to the side 

B 
What's your plan for tomorrow 
E                                  B 
Are you a leader or will you follow 
E                                  B 
Are you a fighter or will you cower 
          G#                     F# 
It's our time to take back the power 

B 
Who you gonna trust 
E                       B 
When the judge is so unjust 
E                      B 
And the jury must discuss 
           G#                    F# 
Said you don't look like one of us 
B 
Where you gonna turn 
E                           B 
Now the court has been adjourned 
E                            B 
And the lessons that you learned 
           G#                   F# 
Are not as many as the bridges burned 

D#                        E  B 
We don't need to run and hide 
D#                             E F# 
We won't be pushed off to the side 

B 
What's your plan for tomorrow 
E                                  B 
Are you a leader or will you follow 
E                                  B 
Are you a fighter or will you cower 
          G#                     F# 
It's our time to take back the power
