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