[Verse]
Em D A
Like a song I have to sing,
C Em
I sing it for you.
D A
Like the words I have to bring,
C
I'm bringing for you.
Em D A C
Em D A
Em D A
And in leather, lace, or chains,
C Em
We stake our claim,
D A
Revolution once again
C Em D
But I won't,
A C
I won't wear it on my sleeve.
Em D
I can see through this expression
A
And you know I don't believe.
C
I'm too old to be told,
D
Exactly who are you?
Em D A C
Tonight, tomorrow's too late.
Em D A C Em
And we love to wear a badge, a uniform,
D A
And we love to fly a flag.
C Em D A C
But I won't let others live in hell,
Em D A C
As we divide against each other and fight amongst ourselves.
C D
Too set in our ways to try to rearrange,
C D
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song.
Em G
Let the bells ring out
Em G
Let the bells ring out
Em D A C
Is there nothing left? Is there, is there nothing,
Em D A
is there nothing left
C
Is honesty what you want?
Em D A C
Em D A A A C
Em D A C Em
A generation without name, ripped and torn,
D A
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain,
C Em D
Nothing at all.
A C
And if you can't help yourself,
Em D A C
Well take a look around you, when others need your time.
Em D A C
You say it's time to go, it's your time.
C
Angry words won't stop the fight.
D
Two wrongs won't make a right.
C
A new heart is what I need,
D
Oh God, make it bleed,
Em
Is there nothing left?
Em
