Intro
C G/B F
[Refrain]
C G/B F
The brain tends to divide between what's yours and what is mine
C G/B F
And what it believes to be wrong and right
C G/B F
The brain does not seem to know that we all share the same home
C G/B F
And existence is a fact it's not a right
[Chorus]
C G/B Em
The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us
D C G/B G
And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders
Em F
And obsessive thinking, of proving our individuality
[Verse 1]
C G Am Em
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 Am Em 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/B F
The brain seems to think with enough manipulation
C G/B F
The brain could be master of the sea, the land, the sky
C G/B F
The poor little brain could not seem to realize
C G/B F
That no measure of intelligence could ever improve upon perfection
[Chorus]
C G/B E
The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us
D C G/B G
And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders
E 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
Am Em
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 Am
We can build a town in half a day, blow each other all away
Em 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 Am F
[Outro]
C Am F
Technology cannot replace responsibility
C Am F
And fifty-five don't justify our own poisoning
C Am F
And progress seems like backwards lies cause we all started off with paradise
C Am F
So leave your mark on our world by leaving no mark at all
C Am F
Maybe it's security
C Am F
Maybe it's simple amibition
C Am F
Maybe it's insanity
C Am F G C
Maybe it's just good old tradition
