Verse
F
We were born in the desert
D A
we were reared in a cave
Bb F
We conquered in the sun
D A
but we lived in the shade
Bb F
Yeah baby we were savage
D A
we existed to kill
Bb F
Our history is damaged,
D A
at least it was a thrill
Verse II
C
But now we can see!
D G
Now that our vision is strong
A C
We dont have to
D G
Admit we were wrong!
A C
Now we can see
D G
but the images don't stick
A Bb
Our enemies lay dead on the ground
and still we kick!
Chorus (main riff)
Now we can see
The warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall
Now we can see!
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all!
D C D Bb
Verse chords
We were born on an island
we grew out of the sand
Never saw another creature
Never knew another man
Yeah baby we were nothing
we existed for less
Our present was empty
our history a mess
Verse II chords
But now we can see
Now we do as we please
Now we do away with our disease
Now we can see
Now the image sticks!
We still need the medicine quick
We still take the pill
But only for the fix! Hey!
