Verse 1:

D MajorD                  G+G
In man’s fear of isolation what was once a Indian nation
D MajorD                 A augmentedA
Is crowed now with people like so many grains of sand
D MajorD                G+G
Livin’ stacked upon each other, scared to death of one another

Forgetin’ we're all brothers forgettin' God’s command

Get me out of this tower of Babel before the good Lord pulls it down

Jesus I can’t feel your presence, are you anywhere around

Or did we all go off and leave you in our little old home town

Lord above how it must hurt you for your children to desert you

Like a little town in Kansas or them Arkansas cotton fields

Jesus saves but no one listens all they want's a good hot meal

Gideon Bible on the table, tried to read but I wasn’t able

So I turned on the TV and watched the news on channel five

What I saw filled me with pity: poverty, crime, and misery
