The Power Of Equality

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Ebm7
I've got a soul that can not sleep
At night when something just ain't right
Blood red, but without sight
Exploding egos in the night
Mix like sticks of dynamite
Red, black, or white, this is my fight
Come on courage, let's be heard
Turn feelings into words
American equality has always been sour
An attitude I would like to devour
My name is peace, this is my hour
D9
  Can I get just a little bit of power?

[Chorus]
Dbm7          Gb
Power of the equality
Dbm7                   Gb
    Is not yet what it ought to be
Dbm7                      Gb
    It fills me up like a hollow tree
Dbm7              Gb     Ebm7
    The power of equality

[Verse 2]
Ebm7
Right or wrong, my song is strong
You don't like it, get along
Say what I want, do what I can
Death to the message of the Ku Klux Klan
I don't buy supremacy
Amedia chief, you menace me
The people you say cause all the crime
Wake up motherfucker and smell the slime
Blackest anger, whitest fear
Can you hear me, am I clear?
My name is peace, this is my hour
D9
  Can I get just a little bit of power?

[Chorus]
Dbm7          Gb
Power of the equality
Dbm7                   Gb
    Is not yet what it ought to be
Dbm7                      Gb
    It fills me up like a hollow tree
Dbm7              Gb     Dm7
    The power of equality

[Verse 3]
Ebm7
I've got tapes, I've got CDs
I've got my Public Enemy
My lily white ass is tickled pink
When I listen to the music that makes me think
Not another motherfuckin' politician
Doin' nothin' but something for his own ambition
Never touch the sound we make
Soul sacred love, vows that we take
To create straight what is true
Yo he's with me and what I do
My name is peace, this is my hour
D9
  Can I get just a little bit of power?

[Chorus]
Dbm7          Gb
Power of the equality
Dbm7                   Gb
    Is not yet what it ought to be
Dbm7                      Gb
    It fills me up like a hollow tree
Dbm7              Gb     Ebm7
    The power of equality

[Verse 4]
Ebm7
Madder than a motherfucker,
lick my finger
Can't forget, 'cause the memory lingers
Count 'em off quick,
little Piccadilly sickness
Take me to the hick, eat my thickness
I've got a welt from the Bible belt
Adealing with the hand that I've been dealt
Sitting in the grip of a killing fist
Giving up blood just to exist
Rub me wrong and I get pissed
No, I can not get to this
People in pain, I do not dig it
Change of brain for Mr. Bigot

[Outro]
Ebm7
    Little brother, do you hear me?
                Ab/Eb
Have a heart oh come get near me
Ebm7   Ab7/Eb
Misery is    not my friend
But I'll break before I bend
Ebm7
    What I see is insanity
                       Ab/Eb
Whatever happened to humanity?
Ebm7                  Ab7/Eb
    Whatever happened to    humanity?
Whatever happened to humanity?
