Oblivious

C            F               C   F
What will it take to make us angry?
Am           F                  
Where is the spark to light our 
C   G
flame?
           Am        F           
We've been sold out taken in yet 
C     F
blindly
            G   F                 
We'll do it all again, we'll fuel 
     Em    F
that grave train,
Dm              F                 Dm
oblivious, it's like were oblivious
      C                            
We stick with the tribe and we 
         Em
Stand by our man
Am                         F
Whipped into shame by this great 
master plan
C                       Em       
Stuck in a spiral still fighting 
             F
an old civil war

C                      Em
Back in the day we had men of esteem
Am                       F
Risked their lives for a national 
dream
   C              Em               
A century away and what was it all 
F
for

                           C
Hear their voices down the decades
F                    C
Calling to me and to you
F                             Em
All that they dreamed for and died 
for
         F                       
Has been squandered by scoundrels 
     Dm
and fools
          F                    G
Is this really the best we can do.

[Verse 3]
        C            F            
Tell me What will it take to make 
   C    F
us angry ?
Am                 F             
Where is that line that can't be 
C     G
crossed
Am                 F             
We've been sold out taken in yet 
C     F
blindly
            Em         F          
We'll do it all again, we'll fuel 
Em              F
that grave train,
Dm        G       C      G     C
Oblivious,,,,  Oblivious.

[Verse 4]
      F                       
So when they give all that you 
                     C
treasure away for a half nothing
     F                             
Or banish your children to toil on 
               C
a rich foreign shore
           F                     
When they prey on the weakest and 
                         Em     Am
bow to the ones that have plenty,,
     Dm                            
They know that you'll follow 
             G
blindly as you did before.

C                      Em        
Imagine a nation where people are
           Am                      
 free not slaves to some gombeenman
 F
 economy
C                     Em     
Sold into bondage one ill fated 
             F      C     F
September night,
      C                            
where smooth talking sleeveens 
  Em
don't spin and pretend
         Am               F       
Their promises not just a means to
            C                   
 an end and justice isn't what's 
Em
legal
             F
It's what is right

                       C     F    
But the king of Island ready 
                   C     F
echoes the cries of the clown
      F                    Em     
Heaps pain on the sick and needy 
  F                       Dm
to soften the Ice-maiden's frown
    F                    G
And we take it all lying down
