Em      F#m          G         F#m
Golden country your face is so red
Em               F#m         G          F#m
With all of your money your poor can be fed
Em          F#m            G          F#m
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Em            F#m         G           F#m
Never really carin' just what comes after

Well your blacks are dyin' but your back
is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back
is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country
will burn

Chorus:
G             D        C
The time has come for you my friend
G           D            C
To all this ugliness we must put an end
G          D             C       B
Before we leave we must make a stand

Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today

Well your blacks are cryin' but your back
is still turned
And your freaks are dyin' but your back
is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country
will burn

Chorus

Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin' just what comes after

Well your blacks are dyin' but your back
is still turned
And your freaks are cryin' but your back
is still turned
You better stop your hidin' or your country
will burn, yeah

Chorus:
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand
Oh yeah

The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand
We must, we must make a stand, oh yeah
