[Intro] Em Em D A Em Em Em Em D A [Verse 1]
Em                                                   D A
You might be a young man with the mountain in his step

Em                                                 D A
In search of El Dorado, but you haven't found it yet

Em                                                   D A
Or you might be an old man with his whole life at his back

Em                                          D
And you can hear eternity whispering down the track

Em                                          D A
Or maybe you're a woman, or just about to be

Em                                               D  A
And you can feel the generations swimming in your sea

Em                                              D A
But you know that it's coming, as surely as the dawn

Em
The battle for the future, baby, which side are you on?
[Chorus]
C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m                A
Which side are you on?

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m              A
Battle lines are drawn

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m          D                    E
Which side - which side are you on?
[Bridge]
D                         D
(Which side?)               (Which side?)
The corporations attacking The natural world - drilling and fracking
D                         A
(Which side?)               (Which side?)
All done with the backing Of the craven and corrupt
D                    D
(Which side?)          (Which side?)
Or the ones who fight For the Earth with all their might
D
(Which side?)
And in the name of all that's right
B       G       Em   Em D A
 Confront and disrupt
[Verse 2]
Em                                                                    D A
There's a restlessness out in the street there's a question in the air

Em                                                       D A
How long if this theft goes on will our country still be here?

Em                                          D A
People know the game is rigged even as they play

Em                                         D
They see their expectations slowly slip away

Em                                                                 D   A
They've got subsidies for billionaires, there's a bailout for the banks

Em                                                D A
A monopoly on medicine, and a sale on armored tanks

Em                                                          D A
The whole damned country's being sold - out that revolving door

Em
Between Washington and Wall Street like it's one big Dollar Store
[Chorus]
C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m                A
Which side are you on?

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m              A
Battle lines are drawn

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m          D                     E
Which side - which side are you on?
[Bridge]
D                                    D
(Which side?)                          (Which side?)
The bankers and their special friends Who rob you time and again
D                                A
(Which side?)
Who like to pretend they're the only game in town
D                 D
(Which side?)       (Which side?)
Or the people who Hope with everything they do
D
(Which side?)
They can build something new
B           G           Em
And turn this world around
E [Verse 3]
Em                                          D   A
Who owns the elections? Who profits either way?

Em                                          D A
Who ends up with all that money politicians pay?

Em                                                D A
To be the fearless leader, to put themselves across

Em                                                D A
To be the one entrusted with the profit and the loss

Em                                                      D A
You try hard to believe that when you cast your vote it counts

Em                                                  D A
But elections are won with money in ever larger amounts

Em                                               D   A
Take the money out of politics and maybe we might see

Em
This country turn back into something more like democracy
[Chorus]
C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m                A
Which side are you on?

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m              A
Battle lines are drawn

C#m                  A
Come on come on come on if you're coming

C#m          D                     E
Which side - which side are you on?
