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