and [D] the people all along the gulf [C] coast are now unemployed [Em] while the men who cut their
corners [G] still scream drill, drill, drill from their yachts far away [C] and their mansions on
the [Em] hill and they turn away [G] the cameras and scream kill, kill, kill [D] as they burn endangered

What will they be [C] if they grow up whatever they [Em] like?
It's crucial to raise children who [G] will do what they're told, [D] who will fight for what's
right [C] and who can't be bought or sold.
