[D]
[Bm] [D] [Bm] Bang goes the big bang, then [A] the darkness and thunder
Adam and Eve were strands of bacteria
Blind we crawled [D] with the birds and the bees
[G] A few years on, we [D] climbed down from the trees
And [Bm] we're standing in [D] Africa, looking at the sky
Saying why are we here?
What happens when we die?
We use God as a word [D] for the things we can't see
[G] Now put on some clothes [A] and let's wait for TV
[Bm] Well it doesn't take long [D] till we're playing in caves
[Bm] Making some men [D] kings and other men slaves
[Bm] Saying God is our [D] reason and God is our [G] leader
God spoke to [A] me and he told me to kill [Bm] you
We spread like a [D] virus to every dark [Bm] corner
Greeks and [D] Romans all laying down [Bm] borders
Slaves and the [D] soldiers, the queens and the [G] kings
Wherever they [A] were, they all used to sing
[F#] Birth, [G] death, weddings and war
[F#m] That's all [D] we are good for
[F#] If all of the past was [D] played as a song
Our [A] lives are a beat of the drum
[Bm]
Invading, [D] enslaving, then trading the plunder
Tobacco and opium, tea leaves and sugar
[Bm] Empires built with the bones of the slaughtered
[G] A barrel of booze in [A] return for your daughters
And [F#m] birth, death, [D] weddings and war
[Bm] Maisons [G] de Saint-Marie [D]-Argentin
Above [F#m] the same earth, beneath [D] the same stars
[Bm] You can't hide the [D] beast that we are
[Bm] [D] [Bm] [D]
[Bm] [D] [G] [A]
[Bm] Well by the dark [D] ages we're getting to guns
[Bm] Still fighting over [D] God and who's got the right [Bm] ones
Still singing and [D] dancing now we're hanging on [G] candles
Passing the time [A] with our sex and our [Bm] violence
The West gets rich, [D] it strangles the earth
[Bm] Romeo and Juliet can't make it work
Factories, A-bombs and flying machines
Finally someone [A] invents the TV
And it's birth, [D] death, weddings and war
[B] Maisons de [G] Saint-Marie-Argentin
[Bm] Above the same earth, beneath [D] the same stars
[Bm] You can't hide the [D] beast that we are
[Bm] Instead of [D] hunting now we go to Tesco
[B] Instead of [D] talking now we wear [B] headphones
Instead of [D] mountains we're heading for [G] Mars
Instead of [A] God we have credit [Bm] cards
And we're still [D] here 2009 [Bm] something
No [D] peace, economies [Bm] crashing
Singing and [D] dancing and looking at the [G] sky
Saying why are we here?
[A] What happens when we die?
[F#] Singing birth, death, [D] weddings and war
[F#m] That's all we [D] are good for
