One too (C major) many gone,
(F major) laying wasted (E flat major) in the sand (F major)

(E flat major) guns and ammunition
(F major) Bear your rifle, bear your burden,
save your children (C major)

Mothers raise their sons for the sacrifice
Babies carry guns and dream

Dying for water, and no oasis in sight
No mean (C major) day dream

(C major) Strangers

walk the streets in
the sum (E flat major) mer heat (F major)
Tempers shorter than a

(F major) Ain't it easy now to kill someone
for kind (C major) ness
Verse 8
It'd make a man of any man who's
(E flat major) old enough to cry

One more overpopulation
gone
(A minor) (C major)
Verse 9
(C major)
You (A minor) cannot walk the streets no more,
(F major) or (C major) live in town (C major)
I (F major) always (A minor) thought there'd be
somewhere to crawl
when the sky fell (C major) down (C major)
I'm (F major) watching my ho
(A minor) ri zon (F major) exploding
(A minor) like a spring too tightly (F major) wound (C major) (C major)
Silence (C major) is the only sound
