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