People moving out, people moving in, why?

an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher.

_ People moving out, people moving in, why?
Because of the color of their skin.
Run, run, run, but you shouldn't hurt a lie.
_ An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Vote for me and I'll set you free.
Oh brother, babbling.
_ Well, the only person talking about love and anger is the preacher.
And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the teacher. _
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ That's what the world is today.
_ _ _ The South feels like an all-time high.
Just for walking around with their heads in the sky.
Cities are blazing in the summertime.
No, _ we go home.
_ _ _ _ Evolution, revolution, gun control, the sound of soaps.
Shooting rockets through the moon, kids going after truth.
Politicians say moon taxes will solve everything.
And the band's playing on. _ _ _
_ _ Laughing around, ego.
What if the world's innocent and nobody knows?

[Dm] _ _ [F] Like a hookah booger, can't you hear me talking to [C] you?
Down the ball and flipping slides.
_ Oh yeah, that's what the world is today. _
_ _ Fear in the air, tension everywhere.
Unemployment rising faster, Beatles, new records again.
_ _ _ And the band's playing [Cm] on.
_ _ _ _ [C] Evolve, destruction, tax deductions.
City inspectors, jail collectors.
Suffering, population out of hand.
Suicide, too many bills, hippies moving to the hill.
_ _ _ _ And the band's playing on.

_ _ _ [F] Like a hookah booger, can't you hear me [C] talking to you?
Down the ball and flipping slides.
_ _ _ _ Oh yeah, that's what the world is today.
Let me hear you, let me hear you.
Down the ball and flipping slides. _ _
