Intro
G C G A7 D7
A Part
C G
Let's begin by apologizing
C G
for all the pain and the suffering endured
C G
there's a deadly cancer we're fighting
A7 D7
won't stop 'til the cancer's been cured
C G
Our children's children deserve better
C G
than a future predicated on lies
C G
what kind of legacy will we leave them?
A7 D7
if we ignore the facts, how will they survive?
B Part
G
This is NOT who we are!
C G
This is NOT what we're all about!
G
This is NOT American!
A7 D7
We don't surrender to fear or doubt
C G
We stand for justice, peace and hope
C A7
With strength and courage, we win out
G
This is NOT who we are!
D7 G
This is NOT what we're all about!
G
This is NOT who we are!
D7 G
This is NOT what we're all about!
