When we [F] were young [Eb] we pledged [F] allegiance
Every [G] morning of our [Bb] lives
The [F] classroom [Eb] rang with [F] children's voices
Under [Bb] teacher's watchful eye
We [F] learned about [Eb] the world [F] around us
At our desks [Cm] and at [G] dinner time
[Bb] [F] Reminded [Eb] of the starving children
[F] We cleaned our [Bb] plates with guilty minds
[C] And the [F] stones in the road
[Bb] Shone like [F] diamonds in the [Cm] dust
And [C] then a [Gm] voice called to us
[Eb] To make our way [F] back home
[Bb] When [F] I was [C] ten my father held [F] me
On his [Cm] shoulders above the [Bb] crowd
To [F] see a [Eb] train draped in [F] mourning
Pass [Bb] slowly through our town
[F] His widow [Bb] kneeled with all their [F] children
At the [Cm] sacred burial ground
[Bb] And the [F] TV [Eb] glowed that long hot [F] summer
With all the [Bb] cities burned [Eb] down
And the [F] storms in the road
[Bb] Flew out [F] beneath our bicycle [Cm] tires
Worlds [Gm] removed from all those [Eb] fires
As we raced each [F] other home

[F] [F] And now [Eb] we drink our coffee on the run
[F] We climb that ladder [Bb] rung by rung
[Eb] We are the daughters and the sons
[Gm] And here's [Eb] the line [F] that's missing
[Bb] The starving [G] children have been replaced
[F] By souls out [C] on the street
[Bb] We give a [F] dollar [Gm] when we pass
[F] Hope our eyes [Bb] don't meet
We [F] pencil in, [Eb] we cancel out
We crave the [Cm] corner sweet
[Bb] We kiss your ass, [Eb] we make you hold
We doctor the [Bb] receipt
And [Eb] the [F] storms in the road
[Bb] They fly out from [F] beneath our wheels
[Cm] Another [Gm] day, another deal
[Eb] Before we [Bb] get back [F] home
[Bb] [Eb] [F] Storms in the road
[Bb] Leave a mark [F] whence they came
[Cm] A thousand [Gm]
points of light or [Eb] shame
