[E] you've [B] been hearing this so [F#m]
[E] many times.
[B] Don't you think it is time to [E] be a little
bit more?
[B] [F#m]
[E] Too [B] many people die these [F#] days.
[E] If [B] you read the papers, check out the news,
[E] the numbers are there.
A [B] number that represents [E] a human being.
Who [B] was the father?
Who was
the mother?
[E] A son or a daughter of this [B] land?
Oh,
[E] you [B] don't make the commitment.
[F#] But your
[E] body does.
Even if you break the [B] silence.

[E] You [B] can pay me well, but it [E] ain't worth my life.
[B] Too many people [E] died these days.
[B] If you read the papers, check all the news, [E] the numbers are there.
[B] Every number [F#m] represents [E] a human [F#m] being.
[E] Who [B] was a father, who was a mother, [F#m]
[E] and saw no life on her own.
So [B] then, it ain't [F#m]
[E] worth my life.
Oh, she [B] said.
You are [E] here today, tomorrow you're [B] gone.
I don't [F#m]
[E] see how none of the stories [B] are true.
You are here [E] today, tomorrow you're gone.
