[Intro]
D Bm
Em A Bm x2
Em A x3
[Verse 1]
D Bm
The dream was not a vision or some premonition like we were told
G Em F#m G
It was no figment of the imagination, to prove that we could be bought or sold
D Bm
The doctor of the diamond run could be revealed to the intelligent
G Em F#m G
But this is what I resent, who cares for the ignorant, the intelligent
Em F#m G A Em F#m G D
The cynics approach was mean, who cares for anything in this whole wide world except me
Bm G Em F#m G
And this opinion must not confuse the issue, my appearance my condition or state of delivery
Em F#m G A Em F#m G
I am stating the obvious, this is a protest
Em F#m G A F#m G A Bm
There must be a conclusion, this is no Shakespearean speech
G A Bm A D Bm G A
This is a statement made by one who cannot practice what he preaches
[Verse 2]
D Bm
The Statue of Liberty has engraved on its wall
G Em F#m G
"Give me your poor, give me your needy, give me them all"
D Bm
We need something like this, for this world to coexist
G Em F#m G
It would be so easy to act so pretentious
Em F#m G A Em F#m G
To act as if it was hypocrisy, to act condescending
D Bm
When in fact it's the world we're mending, and that's why I can't relax
G Em F#m G
'Cause inside my coat it's a pistol that I pack
Em F#m G A
We must beware of a surprise nuclear attack
Em F#m G Em F#m G A
We must be ready to strike back. I'm not pretending
F#m G A Bm G A Bm A
Our defences need mending. We must leave those standing
D Bm
Forget the third world is ending, is starving
Em A Bm Em A Bm Em A Em A Em A
Is crying, is desolate, is oh so late
[Verse 3]
D Bm
I would dearly love to return through a mirror in twenty years
G Em F#m G
And learn what the future has in store for us
D Bm G
And if I learned that we lost and there was no hope for those that fight
Em F#m G Em F#m G A Em F#m G
I would turn to drink, and drink is drugs, and drugs would help me sink
D Bm G
And like a boat I float, I sail out to the sky
Em F#m G Em F#m G A
To the universe and back, maybe to give it another try
Em F#m G
I don't know why, why Jack
Em F#m G A F#m G A Bm
Just to confirm our father.
G A Bm A D
Just to learn, just to heal us
[Outro]
