How could you understand our emptiness

         Em   F#/E                       B/D#          E
You've plundered our wisdom, our knowledge, our wealth

In bleeding us dry

Where timeless joys of childhood

Lie broken on the beach

Between the good and bad

Shining like an evil sun

As my childhood treasures burn
