As recorded by Bad Religion (From the 1992 Album GENERATOR) [Intro] C5 Bb5 G5 C5 Bb5 G5 [Verse 1]
C5
Come and see the brilliant light

C5
Don't let your emotions mask your sight

                            Ab5
It's the manifestation of a deeper fight

     Bb5            C5
That affects me and you

   C5
My optimism was runnin' high

                      Ab5
A new world order was on my mind

C5
But I couldn't believe it when I heard them say

        Bb5         G5
They're blowing it away
[Chorus]
        Eb5     Bb5         C5
And the fertile crescent is burning today

    Eb5      Bb5           F5 G5
And baby, my emotions are, too

    Eb5         Bb5        C5
The cradle of humanity has led us all astray

          Ab5           Bb5               G5
And we're all in this together, don't you know?

           Ab5         Bb5             C5    Bb5 G5
'Cause our species has nowhere else to go
[Verse 2]
  C5                 Ab5  C5
Aggression rears its ugly head

                   Ab5     C5
Retaliation brings further dread

                      Ab5    C5
The two are linked by unseen threads

     Bb5               G5
That wind back through time

  C5
I don't agree with the outdated trend

                   Ab5 C5
Nationalism is an evil friend

                           Ab5       C5
But hatred is instilled by invisible lines

Bb5          G5
Drawn in our minds
[Chorus]
        Eb5     Bb5         C5
And the fertile crescent is haunting us today

    Eb5       Bb5            F5 G5
And baby, our instincts are, too

    Eb5        Bb5       C5
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way

      Ab5                 Bb5                G5
And I think we all should heed it, don't you know?

          Ab5    Bb5             C5
'Cause we've got nowhere else to go
[Guitar Solo] C5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5 Bb5 C5 C5 Ab5 C5 Bb5 G5 [Chorus]
        Eb5     Bb5         C5
And the fertile crescent is haunting us today

    Eb5       Bb5            F5 G5
And baby, our instincts are, too

    Eb5        Bb5       C5
The ghost of humanity is warning us this way

      Ab5                 Bb5                G5
And I think we all should heed it, don't you know?

          Ab5    Bb5             C5
'Cause we've got nowhere else to go
