Em D Em D
Ive been waiting for something to happen
Em D Em D
For a week or a month or a year
Em D Em D
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
Em D Em D
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
Em D Em D
You might ask what it takes to remember
Em D Em D
When you know that you've seen it before
Em D Em D
Where a government lies to a people
Em D Em
And a country is drifting to war
C Em
And theres a shadow on the faces
C Em
Of the men who send the guns
C G
To the wars that are fought in places
D B
Where their business interest runs
C B
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
Em D Em D
There are lives in the balance
Em D Em D
There are people under fire
Em D Em D
There are children at the cannons
C B
And there is blood on the wire
C Em
Theres a shadow on the faces
C Em
Of the men who fan the flames
C G
Of the wars that are fought in places
D B
Where we cant even say the names
C B
But theyre never the ones to fight or to die
Em D Em D
And there are lives in the balance
Em D Em D
There are people under fire
Em D Em D
There are children at the cannons
C B
And there is blood on the wire
