 War mongers terrorize us all,

Bb   Bdim7   F                A7
 Our leaders heed us to their call.

 Stone-wallin, voices calling,

Drowning in the tears of the world.

Dm   Bbmaj7*  Dm6           Dm7
 Big business calling ev'ry tune,

 Polluting here and to the moon.

 All   nations, conservations,

Drowning in the tears of the world.

But your life's worth saving,

          E9
We should start behaving

         Bm7                  E7
Like the truth's been told by saviours through our time.

Dm   Bbmaj7*  Dm6            Dm7
 All warnings fall upon deaf ears,

Bb     Bdim7    F           A7
 Their scorn compounding my worst fears.

Bbmaj7  A7   F        A7
 No way out, hopeless souls shout,

Drowning in the tears of the world.

Over all unrighteous action in the world

 No use in  turning your blind eye,

 You feel the heat as you fry.
