[C] I just want to ask the question,
[E] who really cares?
[Am]
To save a world [E] in despair,
[Dm] [Am] who really cares?
[E] [A] [F#]
It follows a water crisis [N] that began four years ago when the city started drawing [F] water from an exposing cavern.
Mother, mother, [E] there's too many [F] of you crying.
[E] Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying.
Fourteen million more buried would be uninsured next [Em] year.
[F#] This deadly mass shooting [C#m] happened in the heart of Florida at night.
[E] Father, father, we [G#m] don't need to [C#m]
escalate.
See, [E] war is not the end of the sun, for only love [C#m] can comprehend it.
You know [A] we've got to find a way to bring some love in here [E] today.
[G#m] [A] Picket line, and picket sign, don't punish me with brutality.
Talk to me, so you can see, [E] oh what's going on, [C#m] what's going on.

Stem to call down, hair is wrong.

Picket line, [E]
and picket sign, [A] don't punish me with brutality.
Talk [C#m] to me, so you can [G#m] see, oh [E] what's going on, [C#m] what's going on.
Tell [E] me [C#m] what's going on.
[C] Right arm, right arm.
