Let me tell you a story about a man /

C C C C

That hated and hated and hated and then

G G G G

The government put a gun in his hand /

D D D D

and told him he was the biggest man

G G G G

The biggest man in all the land /

C C C C

and all he had to do was recruit his friends

G G G G

And hide his face behind a mask /

D D D D

and drive a big ol’ kidnappin’ van

G G G G

But the people - they weren’t havin’ that /

C C C C

not the people of Minneap’

G G G G

And Chicago & cities across the U.S. /

D D D D

they drew their drums and whistles and sang this: ****

G G G G

Blow your whistle - witness loudly /

C C C C

inflatable frogsuit? Wear it proudly!

G G G G

Around the block - marching loudly /

D D D D

no sleep for hate-filled killers cowardly

G G G G

Come on, get up, put on your whistle /

C C C C

It’s as good as a clear dismissal

G G G G

Knowin’ that we all are trackin’ /

D D D D

everytime they’ve been attackin’

G G G G

All our friends and all our neighbors /

C C C C

& witnessin’ their cruel behaviors

G G G G

As they put them all in danger /

D D D D

our vigilance & noise won’t waiver

G G G G

Let me tell you a story about a land /

C C C C

Where the people walked on up to that man

G G G G

And told him they weren’t even mad/

D D D D

and wished him lunch and then were shot dead

[Chorus]

G G G G

All our friends and all our neighbors /

C C C C

Built this place, we’re our own saviors

G G G G

We’re in this together you and me /

D D D D

and we’re here for immigrants and liberty

[Chorus]

G G G G

So don’t forget - you kids remember /

C C C C

they don’t wanna be witnessed or remembered

G G G G

Blow your whistle - tell a stranger /

D D D D

it’s time to get to know your neighbor

You keep sayin', freedom's somethin' to you,

Somethin' you call rights, but confess

You've been a-messin' where you shouldn't have been a-messin',

And now the feds are gettin' all your best

[Chorus]

G E

Those boots are made for lickin'

G E

And that's just what you'll do,

G E N.C. E

One of these days those boots are gonna walk all over you

[Verse]

You keep lickin' when you think you're truthin',

And you keep losin' when you oughta not bet

You keep samein' when you ought to be a-changin',

Far right ain't been too good to anyone yet

[Chorus]

G E

Those boots are made for lickin'

G E

And that's just what you'll do,

G E N.C. E

One of these days those boots are gonna walk all over you

[Verse]

You keep cheerin' when you shouldn't be cheerin',

And you keep thinkin' that you'll never grow cold, ha!

The weather's frigid, but my friends are with me, yeah

Now what we know you ain't had time to learn

[Chorus]

G E

Those boots are made for lickin'

G E

And that's just what you'll do,

G E N.C. E

One of these days those boots are gonna walk all over you

[Outro]
