Dm
War mongers  terrorize us all,
A#   Bdim7    F               A7
Our leaders heed us to their call.
A#maj7 A7      F      A7
Stone-wallin, voices calling,
Dm              A7            Dm  A7
Drowning in the tears of the world.

Big business calling every tune
Polluting here and to the moon
All nations, conservations
Drowning in the tears of the world

Chorus:
         A7
But your life's worth saving,
           E9
We should start behaving
          Bm7                  E7
Like the truth's been told by saviours
through our time.
     G7
Your downfall, you'll bring it on yourselves.

All warnings fall upon deaf ears
Their scorn compounding my worst fears
No way out, hopeless souls shout
Drowning in the tears of the world

Drowning in the tears of the world
Tears of the world

Chorus:
Where's your love been sleeping?
Has your heart been weeping
Over all unrighteous action in the world
Where bad jazz seems all they're laying down?

No use in turning your blind eye
You feel the heat as you fry
Try your best, you'll find no rest
Drowning in the tears of the world

A#maj7  A7         F         A7
 It's a sure bet, each pays his debts,
Dm              A7            Dm A7
Drowning in the tears of the world.
