[VERSE]
Gm7
every day I wake up and turn my apple on
Bb
I read the news of the day just as it's coming down
F
I do my best not to let it get me down
C
I try to keep my head up but this is Babylon
Gm7
this world;s in crisis we try to fight it this changing climate
Bb
with scientists and the politicians divided by it
F
so many ways we can solve it but they will never sign it
C
this mountains tumbling down but still we try to climb it
Gm7
it's in the torah quran and in the bible
Bb
love is the message but somehow we've turned to rivals
F
it's come to people always picking up their rifles
C
another school getting shot up homicidal
Bb
some people trying to look fly
some people trying to get high
Dm
some people losing their mind
some people trying to get by
F*
when you look in my eyes you see the sign of the times
C
we all looking for the same thing
[CHORUS]
Gm7
but what if this song was number one
Bb
would it mean that love had won
F
would it mean that the world was saved
C
and no bombs are being dropped today
Gm7
and what if everybody had a job
Bb
and nobody had to break a law
F C
what if everyone could say
Gm7
that it's good to be alive today
Bb
oh oh oh oh
F
yes it's good to be alive today
C
oh oh oh oh
Gm7
yes it's good to be alive today
Bb
oh oh oh oh
F
yes it's good to be ablive today
C
oh oh oh oh
no matter what they say
[VERSE]
Gm7
people used to feel safer when they would hear a siren
Bb
like help is on it's way but now they only think of violence
F
another youth in the streets and police is in the conflict
C
and now we hear the guns click
Gm7
ebola crisis and ISIS is taking heads off
Bb
a drones bombing the village and now the kids all
F
signing up to be soldiers cus they are willing now
C
to do the killing now
but are you willing now
Gm7
some politicians out there making up some problems
Bb
and trying to tell the people that they can solve them
F
with TV shows and sound bytes and quotes
C
but everybody knows that it's all about the cash flow
Gm7
they're telling you and me, they're making progress
Bb
but tell it to the millions of jobless
F
it's like a players club with billions of dollars
C
to get the votes you gotta make it rain in congress
Bb
some people trying to get high
some people trying to look fly
Dm
some people losing their minds
some people trying to get by
F*
when you look in my eyes you see the sign of the times
C
we all looking for the same thing
