[Verse]
F#m A Bm C#m
I woke up on Champs-Élysées to the Djembe of Ghana

Yeah, a fine lady from Belize said "You got the spirit of Fela"

Yeah, the young one dripping make-up lift her hands up to holla

Well, I gave her what I got but couldn't handle her broken heart

The right words in the hands of dissidents with the fire

Yeah, will rip apart the marrow from the bone of the liars

Yeah, well, I'm afraid of saying too much and ending a martyr

But even more so I'm afraid to face God and say I was a coward, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A Bm C#m
With all these things I wait for revelation

These things make me want to duck for cover

With all these things I wait for revolution
F#m A Bm silence.
These things ask the biggest question to me

And it's "are you what you want to be?"
[Chorus]
F#m C#m D D E C#m Bm Bm
nananannanannana nananananna Well, are you what you want to be?
F#m C#m D D E C#m Bm Bm
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
[Verse]
F#m A Bm C#m
The war machine will put out both its hands for a dollar

It's drinking at the table with the chrome hand guerrillas

And the young one dripping make-up lift her leg up to holla

Well, I told her what she's got should be protected in the arms of love

The right things in the hands of dissidents with the fire

Yeah, will rip apart the marrow from the bone of the liars

And, well, I'm afraid of saying too much and ending a martyr

But even more so I'm afraid to face God and say I was a coward, yeah

aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah aaaaah aaaah aaaah
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A Bm C#m
With all these things I wait for revelation

These things make me want to duck for cover

With all these things I wait for revolution
F#m A Bm [silence]
These things ask the biggest question to me

And it's "are you what you want to be?"
[Chorus]
