The Whole Idea
By Michael London
G C
It’s diss-affirmative action
G
In the USA
D
and It’s gaining traction, too many factions
G
day by day
C
People chucking their values
Em
To protect their power
D7
but we got one more chance
G C G
here and now, In the eleventh hour

Em
You think you’re the king
A7
You think you’re the king
C D7
you think we’ll acquies
G
and kiss the golden ring
Em
you disregard our laws
A7
and the freedoms, that we love
C
we’re never giving up
D7
truth will rise again
G
We’re gonna rise above

Do we not believe
In opportunity?
For me and you to all pursue
our equanimity?
an do we not care
about each other’s health?
and that our billionaires
should share the wealth

You think you’re the king
You think you’re the king
you think we’ll acquies
and kiss the golden ring
you disregard our laws
and the freedoms, that we love
we’re never giving up
Hope will rise again
We’re gonna rise above

instrumental

And our ancestors came here
To find a better place
It took all they had, left mom and dad
But hope was on their face
Now others have that dream
And some look at them with shame
But we are them and they are us
The journey is the same

You think you’re the king
You think you’re the king
you think we’ll acquies
and kiss the golden ring
you disregard our laws
and the freedoms, that we love
we’re never giving up
Love will rise again
We’re gonna rise above

I hope the day will come
When we will feel at last
when taking sides, this great divide,
is in the past
we’ll remember right and wrong
what’s not OK
and save the whole idea
Of the USA

and save the whole idea
Of the USA

It’s time to save this whole idea
Of the USA
