[Intro] | F#m | A | E | Bm A/C# | 4x [Verse 1]
     F#m
I'd sail across the ocean

     A
I'd walk a hundred miles

   E
If I could make it to the end

    D              E
Oh just to see a smile

     F#m
You see it in their faces

     A
The sadness in their tears

     E
The desperation and the anger

 Bm              A/C#
Madness and the fear
[Chorus]
    F#m      A          E        D    E
No hope, no life, just pain and fear

    F#m      A           E       Bm    A/C#
No food, no love, just greed is here
[Verse 2]
     F#m
Starvation and the hunger

     A
The suffering and the pain

    E
The agonies of all-out war

      D             E
When will it come again?

       F#m
The struggle for the power

   A
A tyrant tries again

       E
Just what the hell is going on?

      Bm          A/C#
When will it ever end?
[Chorus]
    F#m      A          E        D    E
No hope, no life, just pain and fear

    F#m      A           E       Bm    A/C#
No food, no love, just greed is here
[Instrumental] | F#m | D | E | F#m A/C# | | F#m | D | E | Bm A/C# | 2x [Solo] | D Bm | F#m | D Bm | A | D Bm | F#m | D Bm | E | | F#m | A | G | | F#m | A | E | Bm A/C# | 4x [Verse 3]
     F#m
You see the full moon float

     A
You watch the red sun rise

    E
We take these things for granted

     D                   E
But somewhere someone's dying

    F#m
Contaminated waters

    A
Pollution and decay

      E
Just waiting for disease to strike

    Bm            A/C#
Oh will we learn someday?
[Chorus]
    F#m      A          E        D     E
No hope, no life, just pain and fear

    F#m      A        E
No food, no love, no seed

            F#m
Childhood's end
