Verse 1:
Dbm
Have you heard the news today?
A
The bombs are dropped, the swamp is drained
E                          B7
America is finally getting saved
Dbm
Eleven million off of Medicaid
A
Temperatures rise like interest rates
E                                   B7
Built Auschwitz in the Everglades and sold merch at the front gate
Dbm
They’re starving, sick and sleep deprived
A
But they don’t look like you or I
E                                          B7
Guess empathy don’t cross state lines in the great U.S. of A
Dbm
The flags got no more blue or white
A
They sold the stars, we all wear stripes
E                                                                 B7
No need to read between the lines when there’s blood spilled on the page
B7
Never again means not today

Chorus:
Dbm                       A
You gave the man your eyes so you could sleep at night
E                         B7
But you still hear their cries, you can’t outrun this shame
Dbm                       A
This land was yours and mine until they bled it dry
E                   B7
History won’t be kind to those who turn the other way
Dbm  A   E
Ooh, ooh, ooh
B7
Can you hear them crying?
Dbm  A   E
Ooh, ooh, ooh
B7
I still hear them crying
B7
And I can hear your silence
Mmm

Verse 2:
Dbm                              A
Empathy becomes partisan when rights get framed as politics
E                                B7
And born-again republicans start ditchin’ what their scripture says
Dbm
Oh, hate thy neighbor? Turn ‘em in
A
And burn amendments five and ten
E                                          B7
The faithful bent the cross to fit but heavy is the crown that sits atop
Dbm                         A                           E
His empty head, he'll only pledge allegiance to self interest
                             B7                                Dbm
to help the rich get rich at your expense while you absolve his sins
                            A
And your indifference ain’t righteousness, it’s evil at its best
E                              B7
Celebrate ignorance and cheer and clap as the boot steps on your neck, til it snaps

Chorus:
Dbm                       A
You gave the man your eyes so you could sleep at night
E                         B7
But you still hear their cries, you can’t outrun this shame
Dbm                       A
This land was yours and mine until they bled it dry
E                   B7
History won’t be kind to those who turn the other way
Dbm  A   E
Ooh, ooh, ooh
B7
Can you hear them crying?
Dbm  A   E
Ooh, ooh, ooh
B7
I can’t stand their crying

Outro:
Ooooohhhh
All I hear is crying
Can you hear them crying?
Ooooohhhh
Can you hear them crying?
Ooooohhhh
Will you still be silent?
