[Verse 1]
DSo rested he by the tumtum tree
GIs that the prosecutor or the defence attorney?
ASaid he "The system is working" and we had to agree,
DIt's working all too Awell
DAt last he got up and readied himself to leave
GAnd we all shook our heads in shared disbelief
ACoz we swore that this would never happen Dagain
[Chorus]
We got to cease Gfire
We got to cease Dfire
We got to cease Afire
before we all just shoot ourselves Daway
[Verse 2]
DIf it were a different town, if it was the other way around
GIf it was a white boy that lay still on the ground
AWould there be any difference? Would there be a trial theDn?
DUntil the fire hose is beaten back by the rain
GUntil all our colour is more or less the same
AUntil we can't stand to see another father by his child's gDrave
[Chorus]
We got to cease Gfire
We got to cease Dfire
Got to cease firAe
before we all just shoot ourselves Daway
Yeah can we cGease fire?
We got to cease Dfire
Can we cease Afire?
before we all just shoot ourselves Daway
GOooooooo
BmOooooooo
AOooooooo
DOoh
Can we cease Gfire?
We got to cease Dfire
Can we cease Afire?
before we all just shoot ourselves Daway
Can we cease Gfire?
We got to cease Bmfire
Can we cease Afire?
before we all just shoot ourselves Daway

[Verse 1]

So rested he by the tumtum tree

Is that the prosecutor or the defence attorney?

Said he "The system is working" and we had to agree,

D A

It's working all too well

At last he got up and readied himself to leave

And we all shook our heads in shared disbelief

A D

Coz we swore that this would never happen again

[Chorus]

We got to cease fire

before we all just shoot ourselves away

[Verse 2]

If it were a different town, if it was the other way around

If it was a white boy that lay still on the ground

A D

Would there be any difference? Would there be a trial then?

Until the fire hose is beaten back by the rain

Until all our colour is more or less the same

A D

Until we can't stand to see another father by his child's grave

[Chorus]

We got to cease fire

Got to cease fire

before we all just shoot ourselves away

Yeah can we cease fire?

We got to cease fire

Can we cease fire?

before we all just shoot ourselves away

Oooooooo

Ooh

Can we cease fire?

We got to cease fire

Can we cease fire?

before we all just shoot ourselves away

Can we cease fire?

We got to cease fire

Can we cease fire?

before we all just shoot ourselves away
