               D          Bm
Well, I been working up a fever trying to
  Em               A          D              Bm     Em  A
Straighten up the mess in my mind about this place
  D               Bm      Em
I can't contain myself anymore
           A               D           D7
Can't you see it's written all over my face
               G          F#m
Why don't you get on your feet
           G               F#m
It's about time you got to think
             G         F#m
What ever happened to peace
      G        A               D   F#m  G
Well open your eyes and you'll seeeeeeeeeeeee
A             D      F#m  G

[Verse 2]
                D                Bm
You're always talkin' right and talkin about
     Em              A            D     Bm    Em  A
The world and its corruption and moral decay
     D             Bm             Em
But what you gonna do about it, nothing
               A                         D                       D7
'cause you're more like children than children while they play
                G                 F#m                     G
Why, you're so clean through and through you won't shake hands
       F#m                 G          F#m
With a negro who's maybe cleaner then you
       G      A                D   F#m   G
Well listen around and you'll heeeeeeeeeeeear

[Verse 3]
            D            Bm              Em
You're so blown up with anger about the world
               A
You write the songs about it oh
 D                  Bm                     Em  A
Yet you don't even know your neighbors name
     D              Bm                   Em
And now you want to go the the moon and live there
          A          D                  D7
When you know it'll end up just the same
            G             F#m
How can he give you any gratitude
            G                F#m
With your endless sickenin' attitude
      G            F#m
You strive to get ahead
          G               A
But you leave each other dead
           D   F#m   G
Can't you seeeeeeeeeeeee,
A           D      F#m  G
 children laughin'
