They call it the law, apartheid, internment, conscription, partition and silence
It's a Emlaw that they made to keep you and me, where they think we Dbelong
They hide behind Csteel and bulletproof glass, Machine guns and GspiesC  G

No Dtime to show tears over Gfears in the morning
No Ctime for goodbyes, no Gtime to ask why
And the sound of the BmsireCn the Dcry of the GmourningC  G  
They came for CSacko, Vanzetti, Connolly and Pearce in their GtimeC  G  
They Emcame for Newton and Seal, Bobby Sands and some of his Dfriends
In Boston, CChicago, Saigon, San Diego, Warsaw and GBelfastC  G

The boys in Cblue are only a few of the everyday cops on their GbeatC  G  
The CID Embranchmen informers and spies do their job just as Dwell
And behind them the Cmen who tap phones and load down computers and GfilesC  G  
And the Emman that tells them when to come to take you to your DcellDsus4  D

So come on you Cpeople who give your brothers and sisters the will to live GonC  G  
They Emsay you can get used to this war but that doesn't mean that this war isn't Don
