Tonart: B major
Verse 1
G
Oh, look at the headlines
in the papers today
and what do you see?
The other day I saw where 34 people
were killed by sniper fire.
And right here in my own hometown,
oh, it's a shame and a pity.
I don't even want
to tell you about it.
But two teenage boys beat
and robbed
a poor blind man
as he stood on the corner selling pencils
trying to make himself an honest living.
The fusion in the home,
the fusion in the chess of the day.
The fusion down at the bus station today.
The fusions in the schools
and on the streets
Oh Lord, my God, my God
When is it all gonna stop?
Oh! Oh Lord
Oh! Oh Lord
Suit lines are getting longer
The poor man's patience
is getting shorter, yeah
Afro hairdos are getting higher
Some folks' resistance is getting lower,
Lord
Money is sure getting tight, yeah
Militants' tongues are getting looser,
Lord
Ammunition is getting plentiful, yeah
And the snipers are having
themselves a field day
And we killin' ourselves,
but I don't have to tell y 'all
You're gonna have to see for yourself,
Lord have mercy
We killin' ourselves,
this is the way we're doin' it
I know y 'all can see
this thing here today,
listen to me
We breathin' this polluted air
Don't breathe it
Gm
G
Pickin' all this terminated water
Don't drink it
Takin' all these
different kinds of dope
Don't take it
Gm
G
Eatin' all this poison food,
don't eat it
Gm
G
We're dippin' in for the
people's business,
stop dippin'
Gm
G
And lyin' to our children,
G
We're killin' ourselves,
you know it, I know it
Every day, we're killin' ourselves,
you know it, I know it
Yeah, every night we're killin' ourselves
You know it, I know it
Yeah, every morning
F
G
Why are we killin' ourselves?

Yeah, every day we're killin' ourselves
You know it, I know it
Yeah, every morning we're
killin' ourselves
You know it, I know it
Yeah, every night
F
