Dm All this time has whittled away C Gm Dm Like so many days in one Back and forth, the leaders sway Backing it up with guns Superpowers flex their wings Hold the world on puppet strings Egos will feed While citizens bleed That's always the way it goes Chorus: Dm C Dm When will the world listen to reason? A# C Dm I've a feeling it'll be a long time Dm C Dm When will the truth come in to season? A# C Dm I've a feeling it'll be a long time All they want is what they can defend Before their time is up Make the same mistakes again Heard it all before Superpowers flex their wings Hold the world on puppet strings Egos will feed While citizens bleed That's always the way it goes Chorus Dm C Dm Well, if they tried, maybe they'd see It'd do a little good to let the world be free Handshake and a smile gets you on through Then turn it all around with a suicide move But you know it's not fooling anyone but me You gotta make yourself see what you want to see But you know it's not fooling anyone but me You gotta make yourself see what you want to see Oh, yeah! Superpowers flex their wings Hold the world on puppet strings Egos will feed While citizens bleed That's always the way it goes Chorus: When will the world listen to reason?
