G                                 
Well it's far and away, not my 
     D
place to answer

      C               Em      
Any query of life at all, but I 
   G
believe

 G                                 
Those who can choose and choose to 
     D
stand in silence

               C                   
Do a great disservice to those who 
Em       G
cannot speak




 B       C                     
And you may well decide that the 
   G                D
right is clearly wrong

                 Em            
But don't just blindly back the 
       C
other side

                   G               
We'll be just as fucked with all of
      D
 our money gone

Em                     C
Not just for you, you decide

  G                 D             
Millions more are dying for you to
  Am
 try

            Em        D
Looking in from the outside




          G                        
I've been wracking my brain, I wish
               D
 someone could answer

Continues after the ad
          C              Em       
What duty do I owe this life, am I
      G
 to believe

G                          
That in just 20 odd years of 
   D
existence

              C               Em  
One could be burdened by the 
      G
crimes of racism and industry

G                            D   
Still I had to laugh at the anger
                        C          
 in my eyes to realise liberty and 
 Em
equality

          G
Often find themselves fighting on 
different sides

G                               
That's not our plight, that won't 
   D
stop the waves and plagues

              C              
But it don't mean we can't be 
  Em              G
timeless in our time

     B           C                
The guilt that I feel as a white 
           G            D
kid is an Adam & Eve of kind

           Em            C
See we're all born into sin

                G                 
The sin of the father's passed on to
D
 the child

    Em                   C
To him and back through time

          G                    D  
Tried to see more evil in the 
                     Am
world than they'd leave behind

Em                 D
At least in their eyes


All right



G    D    C    Em   G   x2



G                        D
So could it be that it's our lot in 
life

         C               Em       
To clean up the mess we left when 
    G
we came so far, so fast

G                                 
It seems like it's our mess, cause
            D
 we're the first to realise it

           C                   Em 
It's not glamorous and we must do 
        G
it in spite of

        B        C                
Those terrible tribesmen who never
                  G            
 perceived their own actions as 
   D
crimes

            Em              C
Yet they're both demanding justice

            G                D
Yeah, well surely man, that can't be
 right

Em                 C
There will come a time

          G           D           
When we finally look forward 
               Am
instead of always behind

Em         D               G
I hope I live to see that time
