The most dangerous thing

The little children,
Gb
they can't go to school
Db
Let me tell you, it's a serious thing
Gb
Db
Teachers demonstrating
Db
Let me tell you, it's a serious thing
To come home to find your children
Gb
Db
out of school and on the streets idling
Is a very serious thing
This arises from a situation
Gb
where instead of teachers or
school teaching
Db
They're on the streets
demonstrating and that's us
Gb
So much wars and famine on the land
Db
Let me tell you it's a serious thing

Gb
Db
There is no attention on

No future plans or opportunities
Db
Let me tell you it's a serious thing
The devastating memory of Hiroshima
Gb
Has not quenched the blood
And that's a very serious thing
His future plans are to devour your children
Gb
As he thinks of Brendan
The dog of the dead
Gb
Db
In town and country
Gb
it's the same old cry
Db
Let me tell you it's
a serious thing
Gb
Brothers and sisters I'm telling no lie
Bbm
Gb
Db
Let me tell you it's
a serious thing
Sometimes you'd wonder if
Gb
you're wrong or right

Let me tell you it's a serious thing
Gb
Db
If you've got to
Ebm
Db
Let me tell you it's a serious thing
The struggle for the black
man's liberty
Gb
Db
against the vicious apartheid system
of South Africa is a very serious thing
And if the weapon of resistance
is in the hand of the oppressed
Gb
against the oppressors,
Db
Gb
then that also is a very serious thing
Db
Can't pay more bills,
can't pay more rent
Now let me tell you it's a serious thing

Let me tell you it's a serious thing
Gb

So much people begging in the streets
Db
Let me tell you it's a serious thing

Gb
If in the nick of time you come home to find the landlord's
Db
paid you for leaving of all your possessions
that could be a serious thing
Gb
Db
For your table or for your chair
you could find a spare
Gb
Db
but to take your bed away
is a very serious thing
To go to your brother to ask for a loan
Gb
Db
only to realize that he was
heading for your home
is a very serious thing
And to be in a position
Gb
where your daily bread
Db
comes only from the garbage
Gb
is a very Serious thing
Db
Tom, Dick and Harry they are complaining

So much in the prison, living in one cell
Gb

Let me tell you it's a serious thing

Let me tell you it's a serious thing
To be confined to a cell
Gb
which like a cesspool bears a smell
Db
is a very, very serious thing
To be stripped of all your rights,
Gb
sanity, dignity and liberty
Db
is a very, very serious thing
To be chained and shackled
Gb
and thrown in the dungeon
Db
is a very, very serious thing
Gb
Ebm
We're working on a chain gang
Eb

It's a serious thing

Thank God for liberation
It's a serious thing
Gb

And things are
Things are serious
