[Verse 1]
C
First you told us only through you could we know God
F C G
And if we dared to question then He wouldn't spare the rod
C
For you we worked the soil, for you we dug the moors
F C G
For you we shed our blood and fought so many pointless wars
F C G
And now try to tell us there's nothing we can do
F C G
You say the world around us belongs fairly to the few
C G
But about six billion people no doubt will agree
F C G
This world is our home, not your property
[Chorus]
C G
It's the commons, our right of birth
F C G
And you who would enclose the land all around the Earth
Dm F G
Our future is your downfall, when we cut this ball and chain
C F G C
You who'd sacrifice the public good for your private gain
[Verse 2]
C
With our sweat we built the railroads, built cities on these shores
F C G
But because you own the money you say that it's all yours
C
We laid the phone lines and the pipelines and then right before our eyes
F C G
You say these things our taxes paid for you now will privatize
C G
Privatize the hospitals, privatize the schools
F C G
Privatize the prisons for all those who break your rules
C G
And preparing for the day when all the wells run dry
F C G
You say you own the very rain that falls down from the sky
[Chorus]
C G
But it's the commons, our right of birth
F C G
And you who would enclose the land all around the Earth
Dm F G
Our future is your downfall, when we cut this ball and chain
C F G C
You who'd sacrifice the public good for your private gain
[Post-Chorus]
C
You claim to own the harvest with your terminator seeds
F C G
You claim to own the genomes of every animal that breeds
C
You claim to own our culture and the music that we play
F C G
And with each song we download to your coffers we must pay
[Verse 3]
C F
You would even own my name and you say it's for the best
C G
Maybe you'll let us on your radio if our songs can pass your test
C
You own country, you own western, you say you've given us a choice
F C G
You may own the airwaves but you'll never own my voice
[Chorus]
C G
It's the commons, our right of birth
F C G
And you who would enclose the land all around the Earth
Dm F G
Our future is your downfall, when we cut this ball and chain
C F G C
You who'd sacrifice the public good for your private gain
C G
It's the commons, our right of birth
F C G
And you who would enclose the land all around the Earth
Dm F G
Our future is your downfall, when we cut this ball and chain
C F G C
You who'd sacrifice the public good for your private gain
