A          D       A
It takes a million people
A             E        A
To build up a good reputation
A            D          A
But it takes one stupid fool
A                     E    A
To destroy everything they done
A               D           A
The world knows your people as
    A        E          A
The most violent in the world
A               D    A      A
The world knows your nation as
         E         A
The most oppresive in the world
A       D        A
Take it upon yourself
A                 E         A
To restore your nation's dignity
A     D     A     A
Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho
      E     A
Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho
      D     A     A
Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho
      E     A
Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho

Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho

A        D      A
It takes you to teach the world
A             E      A
That is why I got to say
