Intro
A E/G# D
[Refrain]
A E/G# D
The brain tends to divide between what's yours and what is mine
A E/G# D
And what it believes to be wrong and right
A E/G# D
The brain does not seem to know that we all share the same home
A E/G# D
And existence is a fact it's not a right
[Chorus]
A E/G# C#m
The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us
B A E/G# E
And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders
C#m D
And obsessive thinking, of proving our individuality
[Verse 1]
A E F#m C#m
So what can you do when your fellow man, criminalizes your plan
D A
For getting by, and the presence of your body means you've acted
D E
Irresponsibly, and you've failed to be born before all the world was taken
[Verse 2]
A E F#m C#m D
And you got nowhere to call home, on a globe, twenty-two thousand miles around
A D
And gravity breeds illegality cause it'll always bring you down
E
On somebody else's piece of ground
[Refrain]
A E/G# D
The brain seems to think with enough manipulation
A E/G# D
The brain could be master of the sea, the land, the sky
A E/G# D
The poor little brain could not seem to realize
A E/G# D
That no measure of intelligence could ever improve upon perfection
[Chorus]
A E/G# C#
The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us
B A E/G# E
And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders
C# D
And obsessive thinking, of proving our individuality
[Verse 4]
A E
We can put a man on the moon, but that won't save us
F#m C#m
When the ground's too poisoned and there ain't water enough left
D A
To grow our food and liposuction and transplanted hair will keep us sexy
D E
As we slowly die from poison in the air we breathe
[Verse 5]
A E F#m
We can build a town in half a day, blow each other all away
C#m D
Go home latter on that day, watch it all on the evening news
A D
Despite our age of information, It won't help us without wisdom
E
And all our ingenuity has only brought us to the brink of annihilation
A F#m D
[Outro]
A F#m D
Technology cannot replace responsibility
A F#m D
And fifty-five don't justify our own poisoning
A F#m D
And progress seems like backwards lies cause we all started off with paradise
A F#m D
So leave your mark on our world by leaving no mark at all
A F#m D
Maybe it's security
A F#m D
Maybe it's simple amibition
A F#m D
Maybe it's insanity
A F#m D E A
Maybe it's just good old tradition
