||Verse Part 1
|Guitar 1+2 - Ska rythym, multiple differnt barre chords variations available; I think
open chords, however, sound best
Am
I was standing on the stoop
F C
thinking of humanity
Am F C
when you came along so righteous with a new national hate
Am F C
So convincing is the ardor of war and of men
Am F C
It's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend
||Verse Part 2
|Guitar 1 - Same chords, different rythym
Am F C
You stick me in the back with a sideways smile
Am F C
Unity's the front of a gang mental'
Am
You're trying to burn the ashes
F C
but they won't catch fire
Am F C
While reason is coagulating in the mire
|Guitar 2 - Listen for timing and stuff x4

||Verse Part 1
|Guitar 1+2
Am F C
As the final poor man's carcass washes up on to shore
Am F C
I don't know much but I know that war begets more war

||Verse Part 1
How unpopular it seems to be persuasive for peace
(I) Got a mind full of destruction
but it's only for me
Like a wedding vow I speak the word: equality
but alas I feel that everyone is stronger than me
||Verse Part 2
You know that I was born against the O.I.A.
but that is nothing new if you've heard what I say
||Verse Part 1
Mahatma sheds a tear, buried so deep underground
We continue to uphold the men who hard keep us down
||Pre-Chorus
Are you willing to die
for a president-sized lie?
For a man you've never met?
Why ask why?
We stick our brother
||Chorus - Just like before, but slight chanegs thrown in during the 2nd half
'cause the whole wide world is watching
but no one's doin' anything
'cause the whole wide world is watching
We justify the enemy
|Guitar 1 - slight differneces right here - Guitar 2 plays the same thing as always

Am F C G
