Verse 
             Am 
This is the street where people live in fear 
     F                 G 
Of senseless crime and poverty 
         Am 
And the color of your skin decides 
   F                  G 
If you should pay the penalty (oh) 

Interlude 
Am  F  Dm 

Verse 
            Am 
This is the city where only money talks 
    F              G 
Of power gain and influence 
           Am 
Where the poor stay poor, the rich stay rich 
           F                Dm 
And we're still told it's coincidence 
          G               Am 
It's the same old sad survival dance 
            G                Am 
That we're all born with an equal chance 
              Dm               F                 G 
But who could be so blind that they could never see 

             Am 
That this is my land 
   F                                         G 
I can't pretend that it's nothing to do with me 
             Am 
And this is your land 
           F                                             G 
You can't close your eyes to the things you don't wanna see

Am F G 
Am F Dm 

Verse 
            Am 
This is a country filled with greed and hate 
     F                     G 
And cops on the take are common place 
     Am 
The next generation are condemned to waste 
    F                    G 
By bent politicians and magistrates 
           Am 
This is a world at war for the liquid gold 
             F                     G 
But there's still no cure for the common cold 
    Am 
We raise our flags and battle cries 
        F               Dm 
In the name of God and national pride 
        G                 Am 
And the lie we use to convince ourselves 
         G              Am 
It's not our fault, it can't be helped 
       Dm                F              G 
Don't tell me we're so blind we cannot see 

             Am 
That this is my land 
   F                                         G 
I can't pretend that it's nothing to do with me 
             Am 
And this is your land 
           F                              G 
You can't close your eyes to this hypocrisy 
            Am 
Yes this is my land 
       F                                         G 
And I won't pretend that it's nothing to do with me 
               Am 
'Cause this is our land 
           F                                          G 
We can't close our eyes to the things we don't wanna see
