C              Fm
A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence,
G            Am                 Em
The highways quiet scars across the land.
C              Fm
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming,
G      Am  Em
The earth dies screaming. 
C                       Fm
Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting,
G          Am                    Em
Oilless engines seized by dirt and sand.
C              Fm
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding,
G       Am  Em
The earth dies screaming. 
C
The earth dies screaming
Fm
The earth dies screaming
G            Am                      Em
Your country needs you, lets strike up the band. 
C
The earth dies screaming
Fm
The earth dies screaming
G            Am                     Em
Despite all odds we must defend our land. 
C                Fm
Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables,
G            Am         Em
Money clutched within a boney hand.
C                Fm
Shutters down, the banks are not receiving,
G       Am Em
The earth dies screaming
