¿En qué momento todo cambia? La vida es una palabra y se las lleva el viento (Woh-oh)
              N.C.
Hay que alimentar a la familia
     FM7                Am7
A la doña, a la nena, a mai
                       FM7                   CM7

[Chorus]
DM7                    Em7       Bm                       F#m
Everything changed in America, except nothing changed in America

[Verse 2]
A#            A
Money, greed, poison in the food
A#                              A
Profit off the prisions and the brainwash in the schools
A#                      A
If you watch the media, that will keep you fooled
A#                             A
As locked to the screens, keep scrolling on your phones
     A#            A
Like money, greed, all that we consume
A#                              A
Say Land of the free , but that land was always stolen
A#                          A
Mass incarceration and the detention centers
A#                             A
Everything that they did to us never made the news
 
[Chorus]
DM7                    Em7       Bm                       F#m
Everything changed in America, except nothing changed in America
FM7                   C           Gm7                      A7
Wanna tell me what’s America, but who do you think builds America?
DM7                    Em7       Bm                      F#m
Everything changed in America, except nothing changed in America
FM7                   C           Gm7                      A
Wanna tell me what’s America, but who do you think builds America?
