When I was 17
C#m
I saw a magazine

It had those English Boys

When I was on my own

And I just called them up
E
And they'd be there

In 1969
C#m
I had a lousy time

I listened to the songs

Read letters sent from Nam

Now peace and love were gone

The tired soldiers home
C#m B
Ideal society

Gunned down the 70s
A B
Does it feel the same to you?
A B
Why do you act the way you do?
A B
Pack it up or pack it in
C#m
There's no excuse
[Chorus]
A B
Could the hands of time reverse?
A B
Would we wake or take the ride
A B
And again speak with one voice?
