[Ebm] Hope of [Abm] the world is in our [Ebm] generation
[Abm]
It's all [Ebm] left up [Abm] to us to tend to present [Ebm] situations
[Abm]
Take a lesson [Ebm] from [Gb] our elders, [Abm] don't make [Ebm] the same mistake

It's all [Ebm] left up to [Abm] us to tend to present [Ebm] situations
[Abm] Got a world [Ebm] full of machines, [Abm] poison [Ebm] in the air
[Abm]
One's gonna [Gb] live on the moon, [Abm] can't hardly [Ebm] live down [B] here
There are some good elders, [Eb] but on the other hand
