Intro
[Verse]
Dm7Dm7
Every day, Every day
Every day, Every day
Dm7Dm7
Every day that goes by,
a new hungry baby starts to cry
born astride a painful grave,
drowned in hunger's tidal wave.
Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7 Am7Am7
Pick a child that you can save, it'd be the only one.
Dm7Dm7
If Africa escapes starvation,
not only food but education
the desert grows with every minute,
trapping everybody in it.
Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7 Am7Am7
All the children look the same, they wonder why they came.
[Chorus]
Bb majorBb Am7Am7
(But) it's hard to tell the poison from the cure

harder still to know the reson why (why why)
Am7Am7
the only thing I really know for sure
Gm7Gm7 Eb MajorEb
Is that another day, another day's gone by
Dm7Dm7

[Verse 2]
Dm7Dm7
Every day that goes by,
a brand new missile points towards the sky
we're survivors of a game of chance,
beneath an arms race avalanche.
Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7 Am7Am7
If you survive this winter's cold, you'd be the only one.

If we escape anhillation,
not only hope but education
the world is ruled by Bellophiles
adding to their weapon piles.
Bb majorBb Gm7Gm7 Am7Am7
Imagine what your taxes buy, we hardly ever try.
[Chorus]
Bb majorBb Am7Am7

Oh that this too sullied flesh
would melt and resolve into a dew
suffocating lassitude,
drowning in my platitude.

If I survive this dislocation,

the world is ruled by Bellophiles,
adding to their weapon piles.
