(Vibraphone)
| Am Am | G G |
[Verse 1]
Am
You are born into this world,
G Am
Looking down the barrel of a gun.
Am G
And those who hold the gun,
Am
Want you to work fast and die young.
Am
And if you don't work,
G
If you don't obey,
Am
They'll make you live in fear 'til your dying day.
G
Those who govern hold the gun,
Am
To your head.
G Am
With religions, corporations 'proud of the blood,
Am
They have shed.
[Chorus 1]
C
Whether it's God or the Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am G
It's only fear under another name.
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am G
It's only fear under another name.
[Verse 2]
Am
And the corporate snakes coming in to feed,
G Am
On that pathetic fact known as human greed.
G
Skin and bone being raked over those hot coals,
Am
This dump never seems to give time to human soul.
Am G
And if all those things that we have learnt,
G Am
No time for questions, you'll just get burnt.
N.C. G Am
(Listen) You'll …just get burnt.
[Chorus 2]
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am G
It's only fear under another name.
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am G
It's only fear under another name.
[Bridge] (Vibraphone, Piano, Bass, Drums & Violin):
| Am Am | G G |
| Am Am | G G |
[Verse 3]
Am
And those words crush you flat,
G
Like your skull's under a brick.
Am
And the fear's so damn strong,
G
That it makes you sick.
Am G
And you can see right through those eyes,
G Am
That make you fear, that make you lie.
Am
And you're taught to hold high,
G
Yet you wonder why.
G Am
Dumb values forced upon you by the,
G Am
Living lie.
[Chorus 3 (Repeat), for Chorus 4]
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am G
It's only fear under another name.
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am G
It's only fear under another name.
[Chorus 5]
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am G
It's only fear under another name.
