[Verse 1]
          D         G      D       A
I sing an urgent call to action
             D      G             A
It's time to answer though you're afraid
             D          G             D       Bm
It's time to leave your homes and your comfort zones
      G             A
For a new Lincoln Brigade
               D       G           D       A
Cuz there is a moral truth that's demanding
           D            G           A
Ya sweep aside all the risk to your life
             D          G       D            Bm
It's time to push your self to scrap for the things
           G             A
That you deeply know are right

[Chorus]
G                 D
Are you ready for me?
G                      D
Are you ready for the common cause?
G                            D
It's time to roll up your sleeves
G                A            D
There's no honor in a life of ease


[Verse 2]
        D       G       D          A
Looking back on gross injustice
               D         G           A
You'll see the future is holding its breath
           D         G      D         Bm
The little wars you fought inside yourself
           G                 A
It turned out were life and death
              D       G         D      A
What will it take to rouse your emotion?
            D           G       A
And be at one with the angel inside?
              D       G         D     Bm
It's time to raise a fist as an altruist
      G             D
With all us alongside


[Chorus]
G                 D
Are you ready for me?
G                      D
Are you ready for the common cause?
G                            D
It's time to roll up your sleeves
G                A            D
There's no honor in a life of ease


[Intro]
D
This world was built on human sweat...don't forget
D
This world was built on human sweat...don't forget
D
Don't forget


[Bridge]
A      G
Your skin makes you afraid
              D
But you have pretty eyes...pretty eyes
      Bm
And guarded they will stay
           A
Until the marketplace decides
        E
Are we mean or are we wise?


[Bridge]
D
My country needs me...here comes the cavalry
D
My family needs me...here comes the cavalry
D
The future needs me...here comes the cavalry
D
My conscience needs me...my country

[Chorus]

Are you ready for the common cause?
G                            D
It's time to roll up your sleeves
G                A
There's no honor in a life
G                A
There's no honor in a life
G                A            D
There's no honor in a life of ease
