[Verse]
Am
we were given so many prizes
F E
we changed the desert into oasis
Am
we built buildings of different lengths
and sizes
F E
and we felt so very satisfied
Am
we bought and bought
we couldn't stop buying
F E
we gave charity to the poor
Am
cause we couldn't stand their crying
we thought we paid our dues
F
but in fact,
E
to ourselves we're just lying
[Chorus]
Am
oh i'm walking with my head
lowered in shame from my place
F E
i'm walking with my head
lowered from my race
Am
yes, it's easy to blame
everything on the west
F E
when in fact all focus
should be on ourselves
Am
i'm walking with my head
lowered in shame from my place
F E
i'm walking with my head
lowered from my race
Am
yes, it's easy to blame
everything on the west
F E
when in fact all focus
should be on ourselves
Am
we were told what to buy
and we'd bought
F E
we went to london, paris
and costa del sol
Am
we made show, we were seen
in the most exclusive shops
F E
yes, we felt so very satisfied
Am
we felt our money gave
us infinite power
F
we forgot to teach
E Am
our children about history and honor
we didn't have any time to lose
F
when we were (were)
E
so busy feeling so satisfied
[Chorus]
Am
i'm walking with my head
lowered in shame from my place
F E
i'm walking with my head
lowered from my race
Am
yes, it's easy to blame
everything on the west
F E
when in fact all focus
should be on ourselves
Am
i'm walking with my head
lowered in shame from my place
F E
i'm walking with my head
lowered from my race
Am
yes, it's easy to blame
everything on the west
F E
when in fact all focus
should be on ourselves
Am
we became individuals without a soul
F
despite the heat
E
our homes felt so empty and cold
Am
to fill the emptiness,
we bought and bought
F
maybe all the fancy cars
E
and bling will make us feel satisfied
Am
my dear brother and sister
F
it's time to change inside
open your eyes
E
don't throw away what's right aside
Am
before the day comes
F
when there's nowhere to run and hide
now ask yourself
E Am
cause Allah's watching you
Am
is He satisfied?
F E
is Allah satisfied?
Am
is Allah satisfied?
F E
is Allah satisfied?
[Chorus]
Am
oh.. i'm walking with my head
lowered in shame from my place
F E
i'm walking with my head
lowered from my race
Am
yes, it's easy to blame
everything on the west
F E
when in fact all focus
should be on ourselves
Am
i'm walking with my head
lowered in shame from my place
F E
i'm walking with my head
lowered from my race
Am
yes, it's easy to blame
everything on the west
F E
when in fact all focus
Am
should be on ourselves
