verse 1 
D 
Here we are in the west 
        G 
And our cars are glistenin' 
D 
   The bear he roars in the east 
    G                   D 
But we ain't listenin' 
G                                 Bm     D 
   We won't play games in his backyard 
       G 
But we let him build his wall 
A                           Bm 
   We say our god is on our side

Hope he's listenin' to us all

While we   talk

He's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrill

He's gettin' dressed to kill

D 
We got eyes in the stars 
       G 
But we don't care what they see 
D 
   We put a man on the moon 
       G 
We all see it on TV 
A                           Bm 
   We all protest about his bombs 
    G 
He hopes we keep it going 
A                                  Bm 
   And while we rest he's marchin' on 
    G 
His fuse has started glowin'

What have you got to hide at home 
Bm              G                    A 
   His arms are stained but never empty 
C               G             E 
The things that you think you own 

Bm       G       A 
Are only for the few 
                     Bm    D                        Bm 
Don't you think it's ti...me, don't you think it's ti...me

We are ready       we got ready

D 
We got right on our side 
       G 
So our leaders say today 
D 
   Count the size of the threat 
       G 
We can slide a different way 
A                                Bm 
   Our planes are flyin' in your sky 
G                         C         G 
We know just what they're sayin' 
A                          Bm 
You see the writing on the wall 
     G 
Your nerves are tearin', frayin'

While we   talk
