[Verse 1]
D G Em
You can say that it's about the savages
D G A7
You can say you have a better way to live
D G Em
You can call it Manifest Destiny
D G A7
You can talk of all your civilization will give
D G Em
You can say that we're a thing of history
D G A7
And progress is the future you will bring
D G Em
You can send your armies to these mountains
D G A7
You can say we'll prosper beneath your king
[Chorus]
G A7
But there will always be resistance
D G
The next battle will always be near
A7
As long as you have everything
D G
There will be those who have nothing to fear
Bm G A7
And little by little, or maybe all at once you will lose
G A7 D
Because our future is not yours to choose
[Verse 2]
D G Em
You can say that you've got to stop the communists
D G A7
You can say that our ideals can't succeed
D G Em
You can say that competition is the only way
D G A7
And a global system based on greed
D G Em
And you can call yourself a democrat
D G A7
You can call yourself whatever you will
D G Em
And you can keep on stamping out the fires you start
D G A7
So you might stay on top of the hill
[Chorus]
But there will always be resistance
D G
The next battle will always be near
A7
As long as you have everything
D G
There will be those who have nothing to fear
Bm G A7
And little by little, or maybe all at once you will lose
G A7 D
Because our future is not yours to choose
[Verse 3]
D G Em
And you can say that all of us are terrorists
D G A7
Madmen bent on destroying all that's free
D G Em
You can say that we are building weapons
D G A7
As your bombers fly from sea to bloody sea
D G Em
You can say you're with us or against us
D G A7
And to die quietly is what we now must do
D G Em
You can maintain your innocence
D G A7
You can say that you are many, as you represent the few
[Chorus]
But there will always be resistance
D G
The next battle will always be near
A7
As long as you have everything
D G
There will be those who have nothing to fear
Bm G A7
And little by little, or maybe all at once you will lose
