Dm                                 Am  
Be who you are - if it fits in the system  
Dm                                            Am  
Say what you will - but you might die if they listen  
     G                    F                Am  
They think in the politics of gasoline and torture  
  
Em                            Am  
Please only talk to me in the dark (repeat)  
  
Write what you will - if you write it in a prison  
Sing how you feel - but you might die if they listen  
They think in the politics of rosaries and chains  
  
                 G                F              Am   Em  
CHORUS: And it's hard to tell the right from the wrong  
                 G           F           Em    Am  
        When the right is protecting the wrong
