Intro: Em-C-G-G#-A-Bb- x4 


verse 1: 
Em 
  This is a fight 
broken bottles 
       C 
bloody walls 
Em 
  There was a time 
when a fist could 
         C  Em 
solve it out  But 
those days are 
C 
gone along with 
G             D 
many murdered lives 

 
Em C G G# A Bb 
Hey 
   Em C   G G# A Bb 
contention 
Em C G G# A Bb 
Hey 
             Em C G G# A Bb 
it's killing us 


verse 2: 
Em 
  This is a war 
complete with a 
     C    Em 
body count  This 

ain't the past 
this ain't the 
future this is 
C  Em 
now  When will 
    C 
we stand up 
      G 
and refuse to 
       D 
be put down? 


(Repeat Chorus 1)
