E7 D repeat

 

E7 D x2            The bell has rung, class is through. What did I learn?  I can't recall.

E7 D x2            Does history repeat itself? Did the Roman Empire have to fall?  Did they

A  G D               sack too many peaceful towns?  Take the woman and salt the soil?

A  G F# F         Asault the peasants as the toil?  Marching onward with their spoil?

E7 D x2            Conquering the pagan tribes. The ones who lived with open Eyes.

E7 D x2            Who fought the Romans galantly, but could not stop the spread of tyran-

A  G F# F         ny.  May we be set

E7 D x2            free.

 

E7 D x2            Maybe I learned about the ones who rule the land behind a gun.

E7 D x2            Business, banks, and bureaucrats sell your soul if they have a chance.

A  G D               sack Backed by money, trapped by greed.  Cut you down like you're a weed.

A  G F# F         Growing strong above the rest.  Conform yourself or lose your nest of

E7 D x2            comfort in society.  A facist form of democracy.

E7 D x2            Tell us lies we'll call it truth.  Condemn the poor and damn the lazy

A  G F# F         youth.  Let us cut the

E7 D x2            noose.

 

E7 D x2            Or did I learn about the bonds of chemistry or is it Love that

E7 D x2            binds our world all as one and lights our lives like the Sun

A  G D               sack lights the sky with its reaction of hydrogen and helium, the

A  G F# F         gas that makes our voices rise like looking into someone's eyes who

E7 D x2            sees your fire burning strong, the Love of Life goes on and on and

E7 D x2            on into eternity, forever now is where we're bound to be.

A  G  D              I am filled with Energy.
