[Verse 1]
Bbm Gb
Just to think that not so long ago
Db Ab
Was a man who risked his life
Gb Db
He challenged all the lies offered as
Ab
Sacred truth
F
Just to cast a brighter light
Gb Db
The notion that we
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab F Gb Db
Can live as one in perfect harmony
Ab F Gb
Requires a common sensibility
Db Ab F Gb
To teach an intellectual capacity
Db Ab
That I believe
Bbm Db Ab F
Is in the air but everywhere
Bbm Db Ab Eb5
Is the ultimate act of treason
F5 Bbm Db Ab F
That so few could be aware
Gb Db Ab
That their nation's heart is bleeding
[Chorus]
Bbm Gb Db Ab
And oh! when the violence has begun
F
We decree the pen more
Bbm
Mighty than the gun
Gb Db Ab
But the fools believe, as one
F Gb Db Ab Bbm Ab Bbm
In this unrepentant age of unreason
[Verse 2]
Bbm Gb
Just to think that not so long ago
Db Ab
Was a man who received the seal
He peddled blatant
Gb Db Ab
Lies and brought back tyranny
F
To divide his people with zeal
[Pre-Chorus]
Gb Db
But we
Ab F Gb Db
Can live as one in perfect harmony
Ab F Gb
It requires a common sensibility
Db Ab F Gb
To teach an intellectual capacity
Db Ab
That I believe
Bbm Db Ab F
Is in the air but everywhere
Bbm Db Ab Eb5
Is the ultimate act of treason
F5 Bbm Db Ab F
So few could be aware
Gb Db Ab
That their nation's heart is bleeding
[Chorus]
Bbm Gb Db Ab
But I, as a child who plays for fun
F Bbm
With his eye up to the barrel of a gun
Gb Db Ab
Watch the fools believe, as one
F Gb Db Ab F Bbm
In this unrepentant age of unreason
Gb Db Ab
Now that darkness has begun
F
We decree the pen more
Bbm
Mighty than the gun
Gb Db Ab
While the fools believe, as one
F Gb Db Ab F Bbm Ab
In this unrepentant age of unreason
