[Verse 1]
A# G# D# A# G# D#
We used to live in a better world where sky and water were free.
A# G# D# A# G# D#
We point the finger, we point the gun, is that the way it should be?
A# G# D# A# G# D#
We rape the land and we tear the skin, burn the blood in the stone
A# G# D# A# G# D#
to fuel the fire of a selfish mind, do you want to live here alone?
[Chorus]
A# F Gm A#/D D# Gm F F
Lay down your arms - surrender - you know you'll never get out of here.
A# F Gm A#/D D# Gm F F (D)
Lay down your arms - remember - no force - you'd better lay down your gun.
