G Bm Cadd9 G
Why do we sit down when all should be standing?
G Bm Cadd9 G
And why do we back down at the critical moment?
Em D Cadd9 G
Like running away from the waves of the ocean
Em D Cadd9 G
We head for the hills with the high tide approaching
Am Bm Cadd9 D
As sand slips away from the castle.
G Bm Cadd9 G
When it's time to stand upright, then why do we falter?
G Bm Cadd9 G
Like placing our freedom on the sacrificial altar
Em D Cadd9 G
We hold tight to our fears and defend our oppressors
Em D Cadd9 G
As we fight for their lies and become the transgressors
Am Bm Cadd9 D
As pacifists transform to violent aggressors.
G D Em Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, and I'm a long, long way from my home,
G D
And they say I can't change all the things I find strange,
Em Cadd9
For what can one man do alone?
Em D Cadd9
I say, what can one man do alone?
G Bm Cadd9 G
When is the right time to stand up for freedom?
G Bm Cadd9 G
Could it be when you start to fear creating children
Em D Cadd9 G
Who'll inherit the pain and the debt of this nation
Em D Cadd9 G
And be slaves to the banks that cause hyperinflation
Am Bm Cadd9 D
Who are masters of commerce, lies, and bad legislation? Woah!
G Bm Cadd9 G
If you looked in the eyes of a thousand young children
G Bm Cadd9 G
Through fences of razors, their innocence stolen
Em D Cadd9 G
As the red flag of tyranny flies in the open
Am Bm Cadd9 D
Is that when you'll finally notice? Woah, wo-o-oah!
G D Em Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, I'm a long, long way from my home
G D
And they say I can't change all the things I find strange,
Em Cadd9
For what can one man do alone?
Em D Cadd9
Yes, what can one man do alone?
Am Bm Cadd9 G D
I'm only a stranger looking to find better nature in my fellow man
Bm Cadd9 Em D
But they keep telling me it's a sin to be free, and that's more than I'm willing
Cadd9
to stand
G Bm Cadd9 G
Where will you be when the order is given
G Bm Cadd9 G
To censor your mind as free speech is forbidden
Em D Cadd9 G
As martyrs for peace from the world will be driven
Em D Cadd9 G
Away by the sound of a bellowing thunder
Am Bm Cadd9 D
And choke on the blood of a dream going under
G Bm Cadd9 G
As arrogant men tear up our constitution
G Bm Cadd9 G
And from ev'ry direction we cry revolution
Em D Cadd9 G
Standing together and without permission
Em D Cadd9 G
Soldiers for Truth in the War of Attrition
Am Bm Cadd9 D
The love of our country as our ammunition? Woah, wo-o-oah!
G D Em Cadd9
But I'm only a stranger here, I'm a long, long way from my home
G D
And I'm going to change all the things I find strange
Em Cadd9
For I am not one man alone
G D Em Cadd9
Yes I'm only a stranger, I'm a long, long way from my home
G D
And I'm going to change all the things I find strange
Em Cadd9
For I know that I'm not alone
Em D Cadd9
Yes I know, I'm not alone
G
Not alone
