If I was president           If I was president


      Em         G                Am                    C
Instead of spending billions on the war,
       Em         G                Am                    C
I can use that money, so I can  feed the poor.
  Em         G                Am                    C
I know some so poor, when it rains that's when they shower,
  Em                        G               
screaming "fight the power".
Am                          C
That's when the vulture devoured

  Em         G              
But the radio won't play this.
  Am                    C
They call this rebel music.
  Em         G                          Am                    C
How can you refuse it, children of moses?

# [chorus]
  Em         G                Am                    C
Tell the children the truth, the truth.
  Em         G                Am                    C
Christopher Columbus didn't discover America.
Em         G                Am                    C
Tell them the truth. YEAH!

Em         G                Am                    C

Tell the children, the truth, yeah! The truth
