Verse

G Em7(2XX23X) Em
Even if it's easy to be free
What's your definition of freedom?
And who the fuck are you, anyway?
Who the fuck am I to say?
What the fuck is really going on?
How did the cat get so fat? 
Why does the family die?
Do you care why?
'cause there hasn't been a sign
Of anything gettin' better in the ghetto
People's fed up
But when they get up
(Palm Mute)
You point your fuckin' finger
You racist, you bigot
But that's not the problem
Now is it?
It's all about the money
Political power is takin
Protecting the rich denying the poor
Yeah, they love to watch the war from the White House
And I wonder how can they sleep at night?
How can they sleep at night?

Outro

How did the cat get so fat? (x4)
