(G) C G C G
They call it the law, apartheid, internment, conscription, partition and silence
Em D
It's a law that they made to keep you and me, where they think we belong
C G C G
They hide behind steel and bulletproof glass, Machine guns and spies
Em D Dsus4 D
And you tell us who'll suffer the tear gas and torture that we're doing wrong
Ref.:
C G
No time for love if they come in the morning
D G
No time to show tears over fears in the morning
C G
No time for goodbyes, no time to ask why
Bm C D G C G
And the sound of the siren the cry of the mourning
C G C G
They came for Sacko, Vanzetti, Connolly and Pearce in their time
Em D
They came for Newton and Seal, Bobby Sands and some of his friends
C G C G
In Boston, Chicago, Saigon, San Diego, Warsaw and Belfast
Em D Dsus4 D
And places that never make headlines the list never ends
Ref.
C G C G
The boys in blue are only a few of the everyday cops on their beat
Em D
The CID branchmen informers and spies do their job just as well
C G C G
And behind them the men who tap phones and load down computers and files
Em D Dsus4 D
And the man that tells them when to come to take you to your cell
Ref.
C G C G
So come on you people who give your brothers and sisters the will to live on
Em D
They say you can get used to this war but that doesn't mean that this war isn't on
C G C G
The fish need the sea to survive just like your comrades need you
Em D Dsus4 D
And the death squads can only get through to them if first they can get through to you
