  			Dm                                 Am 
Be who you are - if it fits in the system 
Dm                                            Am 
Say what you will - but you might die if they listen 
     G                    F                Am 
They think in the politics of gasoline and torture 
 
Em                            Am 
Please only talk to me in the dark (repeat) 
 
Write what you will - if you write it in a prison 
Sing how you feel - but you might die if they listen 
They think in the politics of rosaries and chains 
 
                 G                F              Am   Em 
CHORUS: And it's hard to tell the right from the wrong 
                 G           F           Em    Am 
        When the right is protecting the wrong 
 
Be who you are - but not where there are people 
Reality is taught - right and wrong, there is no middle 
We think in the policies of money and ourselves 
 
CHORUS 
End on Am
