Lyrics
[Cm - oriental introduction]
Cm D7
because the last time i saw you / you were sitting arm in arm
F Cm
with hundreds of people / before a factory that harms
G7 Cm
the children / of today
[interlude]
Cm D7
the chemicals are flowing / through the countryside abroad
F C
plastic is wilting in the fields
Cm D7
but from our lips are flowing / the songs of redemption
F C
and hundreds of people sing along
Cm D7
and as the water tanker / rolls into the crowd
F
a dozen rebel clowns
C C C / G7
shoot it down
Cm
with water pistols
[interlude]
Cm D7
the blockers do not budge / but you're torn from your place
F Cm
by a man or monster / with a shield upon his face
Cm Bbm
black / clouds
Cm D7
Thor whips out his lighting / sends it to the ground
F Cm
the factory in flames / black-clad men scream around
G7 C
and let you go / in the rain the people sing
[long, slow oriental singing]
[repeat first verse]
