[G]Th[D/F#]The way we've always done before
[A5] [A#4] [A7] [E5]
My hands are tied
T[G]The[D/F#]he billions shift from side to side
A[E5]And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
F[G]For[D]or the love of God and our human rights
A[Em]And all these things are swept aside
B[G]By [D/F#]bloody hands time can't deny
A[E5]And are washed away by your genocide
A[G]nd[D] h[A]istory hides the lies of our civil wars
[B/A] [C/A] [D/A] [G] [Bm]
D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man
W[Em]Who said "Peace could last forever"
A[G]And[Bm]nd in my first memories they shot Kennedy
[Em]I w[C]wen[D]ent [G]nu[Bm]mb when I learned
to see so I never fell for Vietnam
W[Em]We g[G]got the wall of D.C. to remind us
all that you can't trust freedom
W[Bm]When[Em]hen it's not in your hands when everybody's fightin'
F[C]For[D]or their promised land And
[Chorus]

[A5] [A#4] [A7] [E5]
My hands are tied

B[E5]But still the wars go on and the years go by
W[G]Wit[D]ith [Em]no love of God or human rights
