Verse 1:
F# G# A G#
A boy is born in hard time Missis-sippi

Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty

His parents give him love and af-fection
F# G# A G#
To keep him strong moving in the right di-rection

B C# F# G# A G#
Living just enough, just enough for the city...ee ha!
Verse 2:
F# G# A G#
His father works some days for fourteen hours

And you can bet he barely makes a dollar

His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
F# G# A G#
And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny

Her clothes are old but never are they dirty

F# G# A G#
Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
F# G# A G#
His patience's long but soon he won't have any

F# G# A G#
His hair is long, his feet are hard and gritty
F# G# A G#
He spends his life walking the streets of New York City

He's almost dead from breathing in air pol-lution

He tried to vote but to him there's no so-lution

I hope you hear in-side my voice of sorrow

This place is cruel no where could be much colder

If we don't change the world will soon be over
