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