[Verse 1]
D                    A           G      A     G
  We don't care what flag you're waving,
D                       A         G      A     G
  we don't even want to know your name.
D                                    A            G      A     G
  We don't care where you're from or where you're going,
D                A        G      A     G
  all we know is that you came.

[Verse 2]
D                   A       G      A     G
  You're making all   our decisions,
D                    A        G      A     G
  we have just one request of you
D                            A      G      A     G
  that while you're thinking things over
D                           A        G      A     G
  here's something you just   better do.

[Chorus 1]
D                 A G         A      G
  Free the people now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G         A      G
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it).
D                 A G         A      G
  Free the people now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G      A     G
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
[Verse 3]
D                             A            G
Well, we were caught with our hands in the air,
         A         G            D
don't despair, paranoia is everywhere.
                     A               G
We can shake it with love when we're scared,
          A         G           D
so, let's shout it aloud like a prayer.                         CH2

[Verse 4]
D                    A   G      A     G
  We understand your paranoia
D                      A         G      A     G
  but we don't want to play your game.
D                                A            G      A     G
  You think you're cool and know what you are doing,
D     A       G      A     G
  666 is your name.

[Verse 5]
D                          A        G      A     G
  So, while you're jerking off each other
D                      A          G      A     G
  you better bear this thought in mind.
D                      A      G      A     G
  Your time is up, you better know it
D                     A        G      A     G
  but maybe you don't read the signs.

[Chorus]
D                 A G         A      G
  Free the people now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G         A      G
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it).
D                 A G         A      G
  Free the people now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G      A     G
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

[Verse 6]
D                                 A            G
  Well, you were caught with your hands in the kill
        A            G            D
and you still got to swallow your pill.
                    A              G
As you slip and you slide down the hill
       A            G          D
on the blood of the people you killed.

[Chorus 2]
                 A G         A      G
Stop the killing now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G         A      G
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it).
D                  A G         A      G
  Stop the killing now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G      A     G
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.

[Verse 3] (Reprise)
D                               A            G
  Well, we were caught with our hands in the air,
         A         G            D
don't despair, paranoia is everywhere.
                     A               G
We can shake it with love when we're scared,
          A         G           D
so, let's shout it aloud like a prayer.

[End-Chorus]
                A G         A      G
Free the people now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G         A      G
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now (do it, do it, do it)
D                 A G         A      G
  Free the people now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G              A     G
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now and stop the killing.
D                 A G         A      G
  Free the people now (do it, do it, do it),
D                                   A G      A     G         D
  do it, do it, do it, do it, do it now.
