This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Lyrics:

It?s time, alright!

For us to stand up and fight

It?s time, alright!

To set the story straight tonight

I look around today

I see a messed up place

This world we live in

Doesn?t have a clue

About the things you say

Decisions that get made

They affect our lives so

Where?s our try, yeah!

It?s time, alright!

For us to stand up and fight

It?s time, alright!

To set the story straight tonight

You think we waste our time

Leading worthless lives

At school and home

We?ve done nothing wrong

You judge u son what we wear

And how we cut our hair

But we?re the future

So it?s up to you, yeah!

It?s up to you, oh yeah!

It?s time, alright!

For us to stand up and fight

It?s time, alright!

To set the story straight tonight

You?d rather run away
