I see the Middle Kingdom between Heaven and Earth

In every place with a name
A minorAm
They play the same territorial game
FF C majorC
Hiding behind the lines
FF
Sending up warning signs
Chorus:
C majorC
The whole wide world
An endless universe

Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse

Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines

Abmaj7Abmaj7 DmDm
They shoot without shame
A#A#
In the name of a piece of dirt

For a change of accent
Or the color of your shirt

Better the pride that resides
In a citizen of the world

Than the pride that divides

When a colorful rag is unfurled

The whole wide world
An endless universe
