[Verse]
G
A line was drawn in the sand
C G G/F#
By a fool with a big stick and tiny hands
Em G
He promised a wall, talked about greatness
Am C D* C
And dared to speak for me
[Chorus]
Em G
But I'm not afraid of the world
C G G/F#
I'm not afraid of the world
C G G/F#
I'm afraid of big money, the cold one percent
Am Em
Casting me out when I can't pay the rent
C G G/F#
Claiming the high ground when everything's spent
C Am Em G
But I'm not afraid of the world
C Am G
I'm not afraid of the world

[Verse]
G
A line was drawn in the sand
C G G/F#
By a fool who claimed to be freedom's last stand
Em G
Tore up accords, arrested the neighbours
Am C D* C
And dared to speak for me
[Chorus]
Em G
But I'm not afraid of the world
C G G/F#
I'm not afraid of the world
C G G/F#
I'm afraid of big talkers who act like they know
Am Em
Sacrifice, struggle and life down below
C G G/F#
The dizzying heights of the status quo
C Am Em G
But I'm not afraid of the world
C Am G
I'm not afraid of the world

[Bridge]
C Am
As midnight approaches, an ominous cry
Em G
From the wolves on the hill and the hawks in the sky
D
Turn plowshare to sword, turn letter to lead
G Bm
Now enough with the discourse and bring out your dead
C Am Em
Sleep in the knowledge that somebody poorer than you
G
Is fodder for another useless war
D
Waged upon children, smote from afar
G Bm
By a hellfire volley and a victory cigar
[Chorus]
C Am Em G
I'm not afraid of the world, it's afraid of me
C Am Em G
I'm not afraid of the world, it's afraid of me
C Am Em
I'm not afraid of the world
C G
It's afraid of me
Am Em
It's afraid of me
C G
It's afraid of me
Am G
It's afraid of me
