||Verse Part 1
|Guitar 1+2 - Ska rythym, multiple differnt barre chords variations available; I think
open chords, however, sound best
      Am
I was standing on the stoop
            F    C
thinking of humanity
         Am                             F            C
when you came along so righteous with a new national hate
      Am                      F          C
So convincing is the ardor of war and of men
     Am                        F                C
It's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend

||Verse Part 2
|Guitar 1 - Same chords, different rythym
    Am                          F        C
You stick me in the back with a sideways smile
   Am                  F    C
Unity's the front of a gang mental'
       Am
You're trying to burn the ashes
         F           C
but they won't catch fire
      Am                    F      C
While reason is coagulating in the mire

|Guitar 2 - Listen for timing and stuff x4
e|----------------|
B|----------------|
G|----------------|
D|----------------|
A|x0000-------3--3|
E|---------1-1--3-|

||Verse Part 1
|Guitar 1+2
       Am                              F        C
As the final poor man's carcass washes up on to shore
  Am                                  F           C
I don't know much but I know that war begets more war

||Pre-Chorus

||Verse Part 1
How unpopular it seems to be persuasive for peace
(I) Got a mind full of destruction
but it's only for me
Like a wedding vow I speak the word: equality
but alas I feel that everyone is stronger than me

||Verse Part 2
You know that I was born against the O.I.A.
but that is nothing new if you've heard what I say

||Verse Part 1
Mahatma sheds a tear, buried so deep underground
We continue to uphold the men who hard keep us down

||Pre-Chorus
Are you willing to die
for a president-sized lie?
For a man you've never met?
Why ask why?
We stick our brother

||Chorus - Just like before, but slight chanegs thrown in during the 2nd half
'cause the whole wide world is watching
but no one's doin' anything
'cause the whole wide world is watching
We justify the enemy
|Guitar 1 - slight differneces right here - Guitar 2 plays the same thing as always

||Pre-solo
|Guitar 1+2 - Some effect maybe? At the end of the second and fourth lines guitar 2 
C until the end instead of G
Am     F       C        G
All we are and dream to be
Am      F        C             G
come to pass, it won't, you'll see
Am        F       C        G
While the land we claim to be
Am         F        C      G
chains the world so we are free
