Intro
F C/E A#
[Refrain]
F C/E A#
The brain tends to divide between what's yours and what is mine
F C/E A#
And what it believes to be wrong and right
F C/E A#
The brain does not seem to know that we all share the same home
F C/E A#
And existence is a fact it's not a right
[Chorus]
F C/E Am
The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us
G F C/E C
And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders
Am A#
And obsessive thinking, of proving our individuality
[Verse 1]
F C Dm Am
So what can you do when your fellow man, criminalizes your plan
A# F
For getting by, and the presence of your body means you've acted
A# C
Irresponsibly, and you've failed to be born before all the world was taken
[Verse 2]
F C Dm Am A#
And you got nowhere to call home, on a globe, twenty-two thousand miles around
F A#
And gravity breeds illegality cause it'll always bring you down
C
On somebody else's piece of ground
[Refrain]
F C/E A#
The brain seems to think with enough manipulation
F C/E A#
The brain could be master of the sea, the land, the sky
F C/E A#
The poor little brain could not seem to realize
F C/E A#
That no measure of intelligence could ever improve upon perfection
[Chorus]
F C/E A
The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us
G F C/E C
And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders
A A#
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
Dm Am
When the ground's too poisoned and there ain't water enough left
A# F
To grow our food and liposuction and transplanted hair will keep us sexy
A# C
As we slowly die from poison in the air we breathe
[Verse 5]
F C Dm
We can build a town in half a day, blow each other all away
Am A#
Go home latter on that day, watch it all on the evening news
F A#
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 Dm A#
[Outro]
F Dm A#
Technology cannot replace responsibility
F Dm A#
And fifty-five don't justify our own poisoning
F Dm A#
And progress seems like backwards lies cause we all started off with paradise
F Dm A#
So leave your mark on our world by leaving no mark at all
F Dm A#
Maybe it's security
F Dm A#
Maybe it's simple amibition
F Dm A#
Maybe it's insanity
F Dm A# C F
Maybe it's just good old tradition
