C                                                F
   Did they always ask you why you had to act so different?
   C
So very different from all the other children
G       F
      What could you tell them?
C
  When they went off to try to
                      F
Criticize you and chastise you
C
Baptize you and then lobotomize you
G                 F
   Isn't it true, ooh ooh that special school

G                    F
  Turned you into a reverent fool
G                    F
  Tell papa and the reverend too
G                    F
  That they are ignorant and you disapprove

C
They would like to
G              F
Turn a subject into a citizen
C
They will make you
                F
A patient if you take their medicine
G                    F
  They sell you sh*t to make you sick
G                           F
  That sh*t I sell will make you well
G
  Take two of these and break the great Satan's spell

C
  You know it's an emergency
                  F
They call it a perverted dream
C
I call it an emerging scene
  F         G
I say, say, can't you see
C
  They came with their catechism
                   F
Calling it your condition
C
  I call that crass conditioning
G     C              G
  Oh, why ain't you listening?

                     F
Reveal your hidden heritage
G                    F
Collect your true inheritance
G           F
A veritable treasure chest opening

C
They would like to
G              F
  Turn a child into a Christian
C
I've been living without a God
                            F                G
And these Christians don't know what they're missing

Am
Visionary dreams
Ripping through the seams
     G                      C
When we gathered around the fire
    F
The devious and weak
     Am
Make insidious schemes
     G                      C
They want to water down the fire

         F
Which is always burning
         Am
Which is always burning
                G
There's witches always burning
C
Oh! The fire!

    Am
You know the type of guy
Who doesn't like the light
      G                        C
Don't want to stand beside the fire
   Am
He shackles up your feet
Pushes you to your knees
   G                       C
Forbids you to receive the fire

          F
But it is always burning
           Am
We keep it always burning
        G
Keep it always burning
C
Fire!

C--F----

C
Please, Believe me
            G
You gotta believe in a drum dream
C
Even if seeing the death of a dumb dream
F
  Makes a man mean
C           G    C
Mean, mean, real mean

C   G    F           G        C
    That what you've gotta be
