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