verse 1 
Em 
  Black rage is founded on two-thirds a person 
Am 
  Raping and beatings and suffering that worsens 
Em            D        Bm    Am   G 
  Black human packages tied up in strings  
  Em                         Am            Bm   
  Black rage can come from all these kinds of things. 

Em 
  Black rage is founded on blatant denial,  
Am 
  sweet economics, subsistent survival,  
Em           D      Bm  Am         G 
  deafening silence and social control,  
  Em                      Am               Bm 
  black rage is found in all forms in the soul, 

Em Am G Em When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I?m feeling sad, Am G Em I simply remember all these kinds of things, and then I don?t fear so bad
verse 2 Em Black rage is founded who fed us self hatred Am Lies and abuse while we waited and waited Em D Spiritual treason Bm Am G This grid and it's cages Em Am Bm Black rage was founded on these kinds of things Em Black rage is founded on dreaming and draining Am Threatening your freedom Em To stop your complaining D Bm Poisoning your water Am G While they say it's raining Em Am Bm Then call you mad for complaining, complaining Em Old time bureaucracy Am Drugging the youth Em Black rage is founded on blocking the truth D Murder and crime Bm Am Compromise and distortion G Em Sacrifice, sacrifice Am Bm Who makes this fortune? Em D Greed, falsely called progress Bm Am G Such human contortion Em Am Bm Black rage is founded on these kinds of things
Em Am G Em When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I?m feeling sad, Am G Em I simply remember all these kinds of things, and then I don?t fear so bad
