[Intro]
Am Dm
C G F Am
Am Dm G
Am C F C

[Verse 1]
Am Dm Am
Oh, the words have a ring, it's so obvious
C Dm Am
Don't have to explain anything, "The Back of the Bus"
G F Em
Would that our fight be something like yours
C Dm Am
We'd all get up right and walk out the door

[Pre-Chorus 1]
G F Am
On screaming billboards you pay to disgrace
C G Em
And then to accuse us, what a terrible mistake
Am G
We have pride in our families so we protect our eyes
Dm Em Am
While Man's true nature you wish to disguise

[Chorus]
Am Dm
When will you see how much power you have
C G F Am
You defame the small people then the world shoots you back
Am Dm G
You rightfully cry, "They accuse wrongfully"
Am C F C
But you still deny that we should be free

[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am
Oh, the words have a ring, a forgone conclusion
C Dm Am
Don't have to explain anything, "Occupation"
G F Em
When terrorists strike, they call it a clash
C Dm Am
But when our soldiers must fight there's a huge backlash

[Pre-Chorus 2]
G F Am
So they walk on the back of the bus and do whatever they wish
C G Em
Then Israel's accused of inciting violence
Am G
It's measure for measure, isn't it obvious
Dm Em Am
We've come full circle at the back of the bus

[Chorus]
