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