Verse
A minorAm
This is the street where people live in fear
FF G+G
Of senseless crime and poverty
A minorAm
And the color of your skin decides
FF G+G
If you should pay the penalty (oh)
Interlude
A minorAm FF DmDm
Verse
A minorAm
This is the city where only money talks
FF G+G
Of power gain and influence
A minorAm
Where the poor stay poor, the rich stay rich
FF DmDm
And we're still told it's coincidence
G+G A minorAm
It's the same old sad survival dance
G+G A minorAm
That we're all born with an equal chance
DmDm FF G+G
But who could be so blind that they could never see
A minorAm
That this is my land
FF G+G
I can't pretend that it's nothing to do with me
A minorAm
And this is your land
FF G+G
You can't close your eyes to the things you don't wanna see

Verse
A minorAm
This is a country filled with greed and hate
FF G+G
And cops on the take are common place
A minorAm
The next generation are condemned to waste
FF G+G
By bent politicians and magistrates
A minorAm
This is a world at war for the liquid gold
FF G+G
But there's still no cure for the common cold
A minorAm
We raise our flags and battle cries
FF DmDm
In the name of God and national pride
G+G A minorAm
And the lie we use to convince ourselves
G+G A minorAm
It's not our fault, it can't be helped
DmDm FF G+G
Don't tell me we're so blind we cannot see
A minorAm
That this is my land
FF G+G
I can't pretend that it's nothing to do with me
A minorAm
And this is your land
FF G+G
You can't close your eyes to this hypocrisy
A minorAm
Yes this is my land
FF G+G
And I won't pretend that it's nothing to do with me
A minorAm
'Cause this is our land
FF G+G
We can't close our eyes to the things we don't wanna see
