Em D
For liberty there is a cost;
Cmaj7 Em
It's broken skulls and leather cosh
Em D
From the boys in uniform.
Cmaj7 Em
Now you know whose side they're on,
Am Em
With backing and blessing
Am Em
From earthly gods, not Heaven.
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7

Em D
Whatever pleasure those who get
Cmaj7 Em
From stripping skin with rhino whip
Em D
Are the kind that must be stopped
Cmaj7 Em
Before their kind take all we've got.
Am Em
With loving, with caring,
Am Em
They take great pride in working.
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 Fmaj7
The Stone's Throw Away to it all.
Em Am Cmaj7 Fmaj7 D7sus4
All.
Em D
Wherever honesty persists
Cmaj7 Em
You'll hear the snap of broken ribs
Em D
Of any one who'll take no more
Cmaj7 Em
Of the lying bastards roar.
Am Em
In Chile, in Poland,
Am Em
Johannesburg, South Yorkshire.
Cmaj7 D Cmaj7 C6
A Stone's Throw Away; Now we're there.
