World Citizen

Am                              
There goes one baby's life, It's 
D7
such a small amount
F                           
She's un-American, I guess it 
    G
doesn't count.

Am                              
Six thousand children's lives, Were 
D7
simply thrown away
F                               G
Lost without medicine, Inside of 
thirty days.

Am                              
In the New York harbour, Where the 
D7
stock's withheld
F                             
It was the price we paid, For a 
  G
safer world

[Chorus]
Am                         
World is suffering, World is 
     D7
suffering
F                       G
World is suffering, World citizen

[Verse 2]
Am                              
In Madhya Pradesh, Where they're 
D7
building dams
F                                 
They're displacing native people, 
   G
From their homes and lands
Am                              
So they hunger strike, Cos they 
D7
believe they count
F                                
To lose a single life, Is such a 
G
small amount
Am                         
In the name of progress, And 
     D7
democracy
F                                
The concepts represented, In name 
G
only

[Chorus]

Am                              
His world is suffering, Her world is
D7
 suffering
F                        G
Their world is suffering, World 
citizen, World citizen

[Verse 3]
Am                              
And the buildings fall, In a cloud 
D7
of dust
F                                
And we ask ourselves, How could they
G
 hate us?
Am                              
Well, when we live in, Ignorance and
D7
 luxury
F                                
While our super powers practice, 
G
Puppet mastery
Am                          
We raise the men, Who run the 
    D7
fascist states
F                            
And we sell them arms, So they 
    G
maintain their place
Am                              
We turn our backs, On the things 
D7
they done
F                                
Their human rights record, And the 
G
guns they run

[Chorus]
Am                              
His world is suffering, Her world is
D7
 suffering
F                             
Their world is suffering, World 
   G
citizen
Am                              
My world is suffering, Your world is
D7
 suffering
F                           
Our world is suffering, World 
     G
citizen

[Verse 4]
Am                              
Who'll do away with flags?, Who'll 
D7
do us proud?
F                                 
Remove the money from their 
   G
pockets, Scream dissent out loud?
Am                              
Cos God ain't on our side, The shoe 
D7
won't fit
F                              
And though they think the war is 
      G
won, That's not the last of it
Am                              
Disenfranchised people, Need their 
D7
voices heard
F                                 
And if no one stops to listen, 
   G
Lose their faith in words
Am                              
And violence rises, When all hope is
D7
 lost
F                                 
Who'll embrace the human spirit, 
   G
And absorb the cost?
Am           D7
Not one life is taken,
F             G
In my name, In my name

[Chorus]
Am                              
His world is suffering, Her world is
D7
 suffering
F                         G
Their world is suffering, World 
citizen
Am                              
My world is suffering, Your world is
D7
 suffering
F                       G
Our world is suffering, World 
citizen

[Otro]
Am                D7
Not one life is taken
F                       G
In my name, In my name
