Monsters You Made (feat. Chris Martin)
Key: Gm
[Intro]
N.C
If the government refuse to
develop the region
N.C
And continue the
marginalization and injustice
N.C
The youths or the next people
coming after us
N.C
I think will be more brutal
than what we have done
[Chorus]
FCalling me a monster, calling
Gmus fake
DmNo way, no way, no way
FCalling me a monster just
Gm'cause we said
[Verse]
GmWe're from the block where it rains
Eb FWhere we create barricades
GmKeep opposition away
EbThat's why we strapped with
FAK's
GmDon't get kidnapped from your place
Eb F'Cause it could happen today
GmNot knowing how to behave
Eb FThat is a sign that you may
GmJust lose your life, what a waste
Eb FYour body found in a lake
GmYou fucked around and the fisherman
Eb FFound you drowning for days
GmYou know we come from a place
EbWhere people smile, but it's
Ffake
GmHow could they smile?
If you look around, they
Eb Fsurrounded by pain
GmI've seen the sky turn to grey
Eb FIt took the light from the day
GmIt's like the heads of the state
Eb FAin't comprehending the hate
GmThat the oppressed generate
EbWhen they've been working like
Fslaves
GmTo get some minimum wage
Eb FYou turn around and you blame
GmThem for their anger and rage
EbPut them in shackles and chains
F
GmBecause of what they became
Eb FWe are the monsters you made
[Chorus]
Eb FCalling me a monster, calling
Gmus fake
DmYou make the Minotaur, the
Ebdinosaur wake
FCalling me a monster just
Gm'cause we said
Dm EbNo way, no way, no way
Eb FCalling me a monster, make no
Gmmistake
DmThat there's only so much that
Eb Fyou can take
Gm DmWe are the monsters you made
[Verse]
GmI bet they thought it was cool
Eb FProbably thought we was fools
GmWhen we would break all the rules
Eb FAnd skip them classes in school
GmBecause the teacher dem teaching
Eb FWhat the white man dem teaching
GmDem European teachings
Eb FIn my African school
GmSo fuck the classes in school
Eb FFuck Mungo Park and the fool
GmThat said they found river Niger
Eb FThey've been lying to you
GmAin't no denying the truth
Eb FSee what I'm tryin' to do
GmIs draw the line for the mothers crying
Eb FWe're dying as youths
GmCome walk a mile in my shoes
Eb FSee if you smile at the truth
GmSee if you digest your food
EbThat's when you might have a
Fclue
GmOf what the fuck we Go through
Eb FYou're fucking lucky if you
GmLive through the day, better pray
EbThat God always staying with
Fyou
GmAin't fuckin' safe, any day
EbThe reaper'll be coming for you
F
GmWe need a change and it ain't
Eb Fno way I'ma take an excuse
GmMy niggas findin' a way
Eb FOr fuckin' smile in the grave
GmThis is the price that you pay
Eb FWe are the monsters you made
[Chorus]
Eb FCalling me a monster, calling
Gmus fake
DmYou make the Minotaur, the
Ebdinosaur wake
FCalling me a monster just
Gm'cause we said
Dm EbNo way, no way, no way
Eb FCalling me a monster, make no
Gmmistake
DmThat there's only so much that
Eb Fyou can take
Gm DmWe are the monsters you made
[Outro]
N.C
Since we met you people five hundred years ago
N.C
Look at us, we have given everything
N.C
You are still taking
N.C
In exchange for that, we have got nothing
N.C
Nothing
N.C
And you know it
N.C
But don't you think that this
is over now?
N.C
Over where?
N.C
Is it over?
