             Am
This is the street where people live in fear 
    F                  G
of sensless crime and poverty
         Am
and the color of your skin decides
    F                  G
if you should pay the penalty


Am  F  Dm
        
            Am
This is the city where only money talks
    F               G
the power gain and influence
          Am
Where the poor stay poor, the rich stay rich
           F                Dm
and we're still told it's coincidents

         G                Am
It's the same	old self-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
And I can't pretend that it has nothing to do with me
             Am
And this is your land:
            F                                              G                                                
You can't close your eyes for the things you dont want to see

Am  F  G

             Am
This is the country filled with greed and hate
     F                   G
And cops on the take on common place
    Am
The next generation are condemned to waste
    F                     G
By them politicians that matches strength

          Am
This is a world of war, for the liquid gold
      F                             G
But there is 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 line 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 can not see.

             Am
That this is my land:
       F                                            G
And I can't pretend that it has nothing to do with me
             Am
And this is your land:
            F                         G                                                
You can't close your eyes for this hypocrisy

            Am
Yes this is my land:
       F                                            G
And I won't pretend that it has nothing to do with me
             Am
'Cos this is our land:
    F   							  G                                                           
We can't close our eyes for the things we dont want to see
