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?
