[C#m] [B] [C#m]
[B] [F#m] [E]
Nine to [B] five, you know the drill.
[C#m]
Weekends are [B] a sharpie [C#m] thrill.
Sad to see [B] the old slave [F#m] mill is grinding [C#m] slow but grinding still.
Cup runneth over [B] till it's [C#m] filled.
Take until [B] they've had their [C#m] fill.
Sad to [B] see the old slave mill [F#m] is grinding slow [E] but grinding still.
Some [F#m] of us think we're [E] too few.
[F#m]
God's system gives [C#m] us [F#m] jobs.
Even though it's [C#m] just a low paying gig.
Some of us will close [B] down [C#m] Bradley.
Those of us who think [E] we're [F#m] small.
Just because we don't have [F#m] much.
It's really [C#m] not the case [B] at [C#m] all.
It's riches that the flesh [B] can't [C#m] touch.
[F#m] Some of us won't respect names.
Some of us won't [E] respect [F#m] laws.
[C#m] Some of us don't [B] respect [C#m] life.
Even though we [B] worship [C#m] God.
[F#m] And some of us won't let [E] go of [F#m] faith.
No matter what the [E] price may [F#m] cost.
[G#] Some of us won't practice hate.
But God we still believe in love.
[C#m] What you want and what you will.
Working [B] for a [F#] dollar [C#m] bill.
Sad to see [C] the old slave [F#m] mill is grinding [E] slow but [B] grinding still.
[C#m]
Walking home [C] a child gets [C#m] killed.
Neighbors free [B] to [F#] shoot [C#m] at will.
Hurts to [D#m] see the old [F#m] slave mill is grinding slow [E] but [B] grinding [C#m] still.
Nine to [B] five we know the [C#m] drill.
Weekends [B] such a [C#m] sharpie thrill.
Sad to see [B] the old slave [F#m] mill is grinding [E] slow but grinding [C#m] still.
Copper runneth [G#m] over till [C#m] it's filled.
Take until [B] they've had their [C#m] fill.
Sad to see [B] the old slave [F#m] mill is grinding [E] slow but grinding still.
Most of [F#m] us think we're too [F#m] good.
Just because material gain.
If [C#m] we were living as we should.
The less of us would be in pain.
And [F#m] those who are misunderstood.
Still deserve a voice to claim.
Things that [C#m] are still meaningful.
To each and all of us the same.
[F#m] Some will say the cups [E] are [F#m] full.
And give Jah thanks for what [F#m] we've gained.
Some will say [C#m] there's much more we [B] to put.
[C#m]
And then we'll tell you that's straight [B] up [C#m] unplanned.
And some [F#m] will think outside the box.
But some of us will hold our lens.
And [G#] some of us rewrite the facts.
But some of us are chocked on cain.
[C#m] What men [D#] won't and what they [C#m] will.
Working for a dollar bill.
Sad to see [D#] the old slave [F#m] mill is grinding [C#m] slow but grinding still.
Walking [B] home a child gets [C#m] killed.
Police free [B] to shoot at [C#m] will.
