C
Man, I never slept so hard
                  Em
I never dreamt so well
C
Dreaming I was safe in life
                    G
Like mussels in a shell
 F
Rolling and controlling
                                             Em
All the basements and the back roads of our lives

Fill their dreams with big fast cars
Fill their heads with sand
Holy white we'll paint the town
The colour of our flag
Hey there little lady has your baby got
the look of some old man?
Standing on the corner of the third world

Hungry men will close their minds
Ideas are not their food
Notions fall on stony ground
Where passions are subdued
Colour all the madness for the madness is
the thorn that's in our side
Standing on the corner of the third world

C                                     Em
Of the third world, of the third world
Of the third world, of the third world
Of the third world, of the third world

A#
When we gonna learn?
Who we gonna turn to?
     Am
The promises they make
The call for our attention
    A#
Compassion is the fashion
Free to earn, our pockets burn
    Am
We buy for love
 G
Die for love

Hold me, I'm crying
Hold me, I'm dying
