Tom: Am
F Am F Am
I’ll sink slowly into cement, running round the city square
F Am F Am
I’ve always felt a little different, now I can breath in the anger on the dirty air
F Am
grubby beauty blocked out by streets and time
F Am F Dm Am
painted their slogans on the silhouette of my skyline
[Chorus]
E7 Dm G
It is not enough
Dm Am
to be quiet on the train back home
Dm Am
A change is gonna come,
our country’s mind can’t stay this closed
[Verse 1]
*Finger Picking*
F Am F
Enter the decade fearing failing and our heart starts beating in time
F Am F Am
with the white noise and the ranting and raving, their official party line
F Am F Am
we must respond we need a fight, decide how the destitute will survive and then die
[Chorus]
E7 Dm G
It is not enough
Dm Am
to be quiet on the train back home
Dm Am
A change is gonna come,
our country’s mind can’t stay this closed
[Verse 2]
Dm Am
So wipe that shit-eating grin off your punch-able face
Dm Am
these people are human beings that you’ll destroy and displace
Dm
when you sit in Kirribilli House and there’s no one else around do you know just to keep your job
Am
you’re putting bodies in the ground
Dm Am
drowning refugees at sea, kiss babies screaming vote for me
Dm Am
I’ll take you to the future via the 1950s
E7 Dm Am
Dm Am
Were we supposed to feel hope when you said you’d stop the boats?
Dm Am Dm
cause that’s some fucking evil shit, politicizing killing kids, drip feeding fear into our brains,
Am
new leader clearly insane
Dm Am
gonna change the culture in our cultured minds
Dm Am
start a war with an alibi we can justify
[Chorus]
E7 Dm G
It is not enough
Dm Am
to be quiet on the train back home
Dm Am
A change is gonna come,
our country’s mind can’t stay this closed
[Outro]
E7 Dm G
It is not enough
Dm Am
to be quiet on the train back home
Dm Am
A change is gonna come,
Am Am Am Am Am
our country’s mind can’t stay this closed
