Intro: DmAmCAm (2x)
Vers1: DmAm Something must be done GmAm A western face cries from the pages DmAm See a child with a gun GmAm The same mistakes run through the ages
DmAm See a bullet burn GmAm Bought from a country we charge with beans DmAm Watch the tables turn Gm [C] They say they're in the wrong hands but who are we
Refrain: DmAm Rip it up Gm [C] Am More than I can say DmAm I wanna rip it up GmAmDmAm But these are headlines and they won't blow away Gm [C] Am More than I can say DmAm I wanna rip it up Gm But these are our headlines AmDm Cause these are all our days
Vers2: How many die before we try We have the means to end A genocide won't turn the tide Ignore a continent
[Refrain again]
Dm So where do we turn Am To get some truth in it GmAm A breath of time holds a thousand voices DmAm Should we get used to it GmAm When the profit's gone and war rejoices DmAm See the pictures run CAm Knowing eyes on the waters end DmAm They know no return GmAm We turn the page and shake our heads
