[Intro]
B#m - G - E - F#
[Verse 1]
B#m
Lately I've been losing all my faith in humanity
G
And to think I am a part of it's embarrassing
E
I read the paper and I keep up with the news
F#
I can't recognise what we do is even human
B#m
It's out of wack, out of balance, out of control
G
The lies told and the attitude that unfold
E
This f**king country has a rotten bitter hard soul
F#
These are laws of the land that the Crown stole
B#m
I hear them talk, talk, talking on the radio
G
They spit fever pitch panic on what they oppose
E
I read the columns, the letters and opinion pieces
F#
At every pub everybody's got prepared speeches
B#m
Misunderstanding all the pain in the politics
G
They only want a scapegoat and kept promises
E
And all the anger and the fear and resentment grows
F#
The brutality of lucky country village folk
B#m
It's not enough to turn back a bunch of leaky boats
G
It's not enough to kill their dreams then we kill their hope
E
It's not enough to deprive them of their human rights
F#
It's not enough, until somebody loses their life
B#m
Dark shadows gather history will judge us hard
G
One day you'll ask yourself "did I do enough?"
E
And how much cruelty did we allow to be dealt
F#
To a group of desperate people asking for some help
[Chorus]
A
How does it sit with you?
How do you sleep at night?
G
Does it worry you at all occupy your mind?
A
I hang my head, heavy heart, I am so ashamed
G E F#
It's in my backyard, but not in my name
