~~I Believe in the Power of Good
I Believe in the State of Love
FI Will Fight For the Right to be Right
GCI Will Kill for the Good of the Fight for the Right to be Right.~~
Am F
And I open my eyes to look around
GAnd I see a child laid slain on the ground
As a love machine lumbers through desolation rows
F GPloughing down man, woman, listening to its command
CBut not hearing anymore-
Not hearing anymore
GJust the shrieks from the old rich
C
And I Want to Believe
GIn the madness that calls ~Now~
And I Want to Believe
GThat a light is shining through somehow
