I'm not American, [Cm] and now I [F] know.
[G] There's so much pain and there is [Cm] so [F] much confusion.
[Gm]
[Cm] 126 years [F] of illusions.
[Gm] If I would tell you, [Cm] bet you would [Dm] not believe [Gm] me.
If it's America, then [Cm] show [F] me the [Gm] treaty.
You show me [Cm] problems instead [Dm] of [Gm] solutions.
While you choose [Eb] who [F] rules the schools.

Who [Gm] are these people trying [A] to [Dm] gentrify [Gm] our aina?
From [Cm] mauka to [F] makai, just [Gm] like invasives.
Yes, [Cm] they will [Dm] multiply.
[Gm] Driving in Hawaii [Cm] while we barely [F] scrape by.
Too [Gm] much settlers, trying [Cm] to circle, [Dm] circle down.
[Gm] While our people are [Cm] sleeping on [F] the cold ground.
Who [Ab] are these people living from [Bb] June to July?
Where the fuck are we [Cm] living in tents and white and [Gm] high?
Where is it [Cm] now, where [Gm] did it go?
Where is it [Eb] gone, I [F] wanna know.

[Cm] Without [Dm] jurisdiction, [Gm] please release me.
Officer, [Cm] release me.
Release me freely to the lands I have [Eb] been promised.
To peaks [Gm] of mountains, onto leaves upon the forest.
Through streams and valleys and [F] through reefs of the ocean.
[Gm] My paperwork is here, but were [Cm] you ever looking for [Gm] it?
Where is it now, [Cm] where did [Gm] it go?
Where is it [Ab] gone, [F] I wanna [G] know.
