If he's holding it high, he's telling a lie.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ I heard [F] it was [Dm] you, _ _ _ _ talking [Am] about a world _ [C] where all [D] is free.
It just [F] couldn't be, and only [C] a fool would say that. _
The man [Dm] in the street, _ dragging his feet, don't [Am] want to [C] hear the bad news. _
[Dm] Imagine your face, there [C] in his place, [Dm] [C] standing inside his brown shoes. _ _
_ [Am] _ _ You do [F] his nine to [G] five, drag yourself [F] from half the line.
And there on the screen, a man with a [Am] dream. _ _ _ _ _
I heard [F] it was [Dm] you, _ _ _ [F] _
[Am] talking about a world _ [C] where all [D] is free.
It just [F] couldn't be, and [C] only a fool would say [Am] that. _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] Anybody on the street [Am] has [Dm] murder [G] in [F] his _ eyes.
