[Intro]
G D/F# C
[Refrain]
GThe brain tends D/F#to divide betCween what's yours and what is mine
GAnd what it believes D/F#to be wrong and rCight
GThe brain does not D/F#seem to know that Cwe all share the same home
GAnd existence is a D/F#fact it's not a rCight
[Chorus]
GThe land is the land, the sky D/F#is the sky, the water belongs to Bmall of us
And AI can find no reason to Gmutilate our D/F#mother Dwith fences and borders
And obsessive thinking, of Bmproving our individualitCy
[Verse 1]
GSo what can you Ddo when your fellow Emman, criminalizes Bmyour plan
For getting Cby, and the presence of your body Gmeans you've acted
Irresponsibly, Cand you've failed to be born before Dall the world was taken
[Verse 2]
GAnd you got nowhere to call Dhome, on a gEmlobe, twenty-two tBmhousand miles arCound
And gravity breeds illegaliGty cause it'll always bring you dCown
On somebody eDlse's piece of ground
[Refrain]
GThe brain seems D/F#to think with enCough manipulation
GThe brain could D/F#be master of the Csea, the land, the sky
GThe poor little D/F#brain could not seem to Crealize
GThat no measure of D/F#intelligence could ever Cimprove upon perfection
[Chorus]
GThe land is the land, the sky D/F#is the sky, the water belongs to Ball of us
And AI can find no reason to Gmutilate our D/F#mother Dwith fences and borders
And obsessive thinking, of Bproving our individualitCy
[Verse 4]
GWe can put a man on the Dmoon, but that won't save us
When the Emground's too poisoned and there ain't water Bmenough left
To grow our Cfood and liposuction and transplanted Ghair will keep us sexy
As we Cslowly die from poison in the Dair we breathe
[Verse 5]
GWe can build a town in half a Dday, blow each other all Emaway
Go home latter on that Bmday, watch it all on the evening Cnews
Despite our age of informationG, It won't help us without wisdomC  
And all our ingenuity has only Dbrought us to the brink of annihilation
G Em C
[Outro]
GTechnolEmogy cannot rCeplace responsibility
GAnd fifty-Emfive don't justiCfy our own poisoning
GAnd progress Emseems like backwards Clies cause we all started off with paradise
GSo leave your Emmark on our world by leaving Cno mark at all
GMaEmybe Cit's security
GMaEmybe Cit's simple amibition
GMaEmybe Cit's insanity
GMaEmybe it's just gCood old tradiDtionG

D/F#

[Intro]

G D/F# C

[Refrain]

G D/F# C

The brain tends to divide between what's yours and what is mine

G D/F# C

And what it believes to be wrong and right

G D/F# C

The brain does not seem to know that we all share the same home

G D/F# C

And existence is a fact it's not a right

[Chorus]

G D/F# Bm

The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us

A G D/F# D

And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders

Bm C

And obsessive thinking, of proving our individuality

[Verse 1]

G D Em Bm

So what can you do when your fellow man, criminalizes your plan

C G

For getting by, and the presence of your body means you've acted

C D

Irresponsibly, and you've failed to be born before all the world was taken

[Verse 2]

G D Em Bm C

And you got nowhere to call home, on a globe, twenty-two thousand miles around

G C

And gravity breeds illegality cause it'll always bring you down

On somebody else's piece of ground

[Refrain]

G D/F# C

The brain seems to think with enough manipulation

G D/F# C

The brain could be master of the sea, the land, the sky

G D/F# C

The poor little brain could not seem to realize

G D/F# C

That no measure of intelligence could ever improve upon perfection

[Chorus]

G D/F# B

The land is the land, the sky is the sky, the water belongs to all of us

A G D/F# D

And I can find no reason to mutilate our mother with fences and borders

B C

And obsessive thinking, of proving our individuality

[Verse 4]

G D

We can put a man on the moon, but that won't save us

Em Bm

When the ground's too poisoned and there ain't water enough left

C G

To grow our food and liposuction and transplanted hair will keep us sexy

C D

As we slowly die from poison in the air we breathe

[Verse 5]

G D Em

We can build a town in half a day, blow each other all away

Bm C

Go home latter on that day, watch it all on the evening news

G C

Despite our age of information, It won't help us without wisdom

And all our ingenuity has only brought us to the brink of annihilation

G Em C

[Outro]

G Em C

Technology cannot replace responsibility

G Em C

And fifty-five don't justify our own poisoning

G Em C

And progress seems like backwards lies cause we all started off with paradise

G Em C

So leave your mark on our world by leaving no mark at all

G Em C

Maybe it's security

G Em C

Maybe it's simple amibition

G Em C

Maybe it's insanity

G Em C D G

Maybe it's just good old tradition
