   D                                         C
I see the Middle Kingdom between Heaven and Earth
 D                                          C
Like the Chinese call the country of their birth
 D                                                C
We all figure that our homes, our homes are set above
D                                                 C
Other people than the ones, the ones we know and love
   F
In every place with a name
      Am
They play the same territorial game
F
Hiding behind the lines
Am
Sending up warning signs

Chorus:
C
The whole wide world
An endless universe
Bm
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
       C
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
Bm
Can't really feel
What international means
C
In different circles,
we keep holding our ground
Bm
Indifferent circles,
                                      D
we keep spinning round and round and round

We see so many tribes overrun and undermined
While their invaders dream of lands they've left behind
Better people, better food, and better beer
Why move around the world when Eden was so near?
The bosses get talking so tough
And if that wasn't evil enough
We get the drunken and passionate pride
Of the citizens along for the ride

Chorus

A#
They shoot without shame
Dm
In the name of a piece of dirt
A#
For a change of accent
Dm
Or the color of your shirt
A#
Better the pride that resides
Dm
In a citizen of the world
A#
Than the pride that divides
Dm
When a colorful rag is unfurled

Chorus:
D
The whole wide world
An endless universe
C#m
Yet we keep looking through
The eyeglass in reverse
D
Don't feed the people
But we feed the machines
C#m
Can't really feel
What international means
D
In different circles, we keep holding our ground
C#m
Indifferent circles,
                                      E
we keep spinning round and round and round
