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