[Verse]
Em C
She wakes up in the morning; the sun is shining in her face
G D
She turns her head around; she shares the blanket on which the love embraced
Em C
She looks out of the window; it's a lovely day outside
G D
She tells herself that things are fine, he pulls the sheets to cover his eyes
Em C
The essence of the fresh air, that garden held the love affair
G D
Thinking back their minds are torn in muddle and confusion
Em C
So far away another sits, who tries to make the best of it
G D
He don't know quite what's hit him, it's another love illusion
[Chorus]
B F#5
He gazes in his empty room eyes fixed upon her picture
Am F#5
The loneliness, dejectedness, God how the fuck he's missed her
B F#5
His eyes turn turn to the window, the military roar by
Am F#5
He wonders how much hatred could evolve out of the sky
B F#5
What God had done for peace on earth, what man destroyed from day of birth
Am F#5
They are concerned with feelings; they're just ashamed to cry
B F#5
And one mans plan to push the button makes other sacrifice
Am F#5
The serenade is dead and now the only question's why?
[Verse]
Em C
Why when we are young, we're told it's right to love
G D
Told it's human nature and that comes from God above
Em C
As time moves on we realise that we all look from the pit
G D
While a plan hangs above us, to keep us in the shit
Em C
Because the minute we are born, we're told what's right and wrong
G D
Raised with certain morals, never mentioned in their songs
Em C
As we grow up, we find out that the paths been neatly set
G D
In a world of such destruction, we only can regret
[Chorus]
B F#5
Regret that is the word of it, as we look for our way out of it
Am F#5
Why can't they understand we don't want any part of it?
B F#5
The pain they create everyday, that just ain't gonna go away
Am F#5
We've got to stick together, but still you're asking why?
[Bridge]

Em C G D
Em C
The system stands strong, as our movement starts to crumble
G D
The pressure we once held, has just turned into a rumble
Em C
They've got us where they want us, and you all just accept that
G D
Well don't you think its time; we started to hit back
Em C
They are the enemy; they want a rope around your neck
G D
And if they will go that far, then what the fuck is next?
[Verse]
Em C
Forget the revolution, we've heard it all before
G D
Heard all of the promises of nineteen-eighty-four
Em C
It's an impossible task, oh yes, it stands before us all
G D Bm Em
Well maybe you'll believe it when your back's against the wall
