Em
We've been under their thumb for a long, long time
             Am                       Bm     Em
They give us just enough water, just enough wine
Em
Just enough crumbs, a dollar and a dime
Am                           B7         Em
Just enough hope, to keep us towing the line

[Chorus]
Em
Sooner or later
Am
sooner or later
B7
sooner later
      B       C
Its a natural fact
B7         C
gonna rise up
       B          Em
gonna take it all back

[Verse]
Em
Well they keep us seperated, by the shade of our skin
    Am                         Bm             Em
the dark ones relagated to the bottom of the bin
Em
and woman was created to put out and to give in
        Am                                    B7         Em
the the game is rigged and weighted so youre never gonna win

[Chorus]
Em
Sooner or later
Am
sooner or later
B7
sooner later
      B       C
Its a natural fact
B7         C
gonna rise up
       B          Em
gonna take it all back

[Bridge]
          Am
Well they gave us a God, looking down from on high
     Em
they gave us a story about the by and by
      Am
and a moment of glory coming after you die
           B7
would you know damn well is a lie

[Chorus]
Em
Sooner or later
Am
sooner or later
B7
sooner later
      B       C
Its a natural fact
B7         C
gonna rise up
       B          Em
gonna take it all back

[Bridge]
Em        Am
Well they gave us a God, looking down from on high
     Em
they gave us a story about the by and by
      Am
and a moment of glory coming after you die
           B7
would you know damn well is a lie

[Verse]
Em
The take the oil from the earth, put the coal dust in the sky
    Am                               Bm            Em
the poison in the waters, they dont care if people die
Em
they take the food from the hungry, medication from the poor
     Am                            B7
the children from the mothers, we cant take it any more

[Chorus]
Em
Sooner or later
Am
sooner or later
B7
sooner later
      B       C
Its a natural fact
B7         C
gonna rise up
       B          Em
gonna take it all back
