Song Progression: 
 
{Intro} 
 
With {Riff 1}: 
 
Her face is cracked from smiling, 
all the fears that she's been hiding, 
and it seems that pretty soon 
evr'ybody's gonna know. 
 
And her voice is sore from shouting, 
cheering winners who are losing, 
and she wonders if their days are few 
and soon they'll have to go. 
 
{Riff 1} once more, then 
 
With {Riff 2}: (chords shown here for reference) 
 
C            G 
My, my, my, I'm so happy, 
Bb                F 
I'm gonna join the band. 
 C                     G 
We are gonna dance and sing in celebration, 
 Bb                   F  E 
we are in the promised land. 
 
With {Riff 1}: 
 
She hears them talk of new ways 
to protect the home she lives in, 
Then she wonders what it's all about 
when they break down the door. 
Her name is Brown or White or Black; 
you know her very well. 
You hear her cries of mercy 
as the winners toll the bell. 
 
With {Riff 2}: 
 
My, my, my, I'm so happy, 
I'm gonna join the band. 
We are gonna sing and dance in celebration, 
we are in the promised land. 
 
{Solo}:

With {Riff 1}: 
 
There is a train that leaves the station 
heading for your destination, 
But the price you pay to nowhere 
has increased a dollar more. Yes, it has! 
And if you walk you're gonna get there 
although it takes a little longer, 
And when you see it in the distance 
you will wring your hands and moan. 
 
Repeat {Riff 1} until fade out
