C Dm G F C Dm G F
Famines will be famines, banquets will be banquets
C Dm G F C Dm G F
Some spend winter in a palace, some spend it in blankets.
C Dm G F
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
C Dm G F
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
Em F
Time to end the praying
Em F
Listen what they're saying
G
Get up off our knees
C Dm
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
G F
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
C Dm
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
G F
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
C Dm G F C Dm G F
Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers
C Dm G F C Dm G F
Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers
C Dm G F
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
C Dm G F
There's no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray
Em F
Time to end the praying
Em F
Listen what they're saying
G
Get up off our knees
C Dm
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
G F
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
C Dm
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
G F
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
C Dm G F C Dm G F
Countries will be countries, borders will be borders
C Dm G F C Dm G F
Some have lost their folks at war, some have given orders
C Dm G F
Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away
C Dm G F
Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
Em F
Time to end the praying
Em F
Listen what they're saying
G
Get up off our knees
C Dm
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
G F
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
C Dm
You can wag your finger 'till your anger's sore
G F
Shake your head 'till it shakes no more
