C            F               C   F
What will it take to make us angry?
Am           F                  C   G
Where is the spark to light our flame?
           Am        F           C     F
We've been sold out taken in yet blindly
            G   F                      Em    F
We'll do it all again, we'll fuel that grave train,
Dm              F                 Dm
oblivious, it's like were oblivious
      C                                     Em
We stick with the tribe and we Stand by our man
Am                         F
Whipped into shame by this great master plan
C                       Em                    F
Stuck in a spiral still fighting an old civil war

C                      Em
Back in the day we had men of esteem
Am                       F
Risked their lives for a national dream
   C              Em               F
A century away and what was it all for

[Verse 2]
                           C
Hear their voices down the decades
F                    C
Calling to me and to you
F                             Em
All that they dreamed for and died for
         F                            Dm
Has been squandered by scoundrels and fools
          F                    G
Is this really the best we can do.

[Verse 3]
        C            F               C    F
Tell me What will it take to make us angry ?
Am                 F             C     G
Where is that line that can't be crossed
Am                 F             C     F
We've been sold out taken in yet blindly
            Em         F          Em              F
We'll do it all again, we'll fuel that grave train,
Dm        G       C      G     C
Oblivious,,,,  Oblivious.

[Verse 4]
      F                                            C
So when they give all that you treasure away for a half nothing
     F                                            C
Or banish your children to toil on a rich foreign shore
           F                                              Em     Am
When they prey on the weakest and bow to the ones that have plenty,,
     Dm                                         G
They know that you'll follow blindly as you did before.

C                      Em                   Am                       F
Imagine a nation where people are free not slaves to some gombeenman economy
C                     Em                  F      C     F
Sold into bondage one ill fated September night,
      C                              Em
where smooth talking sleeveens don't spin and pretend
         Am               F                   C                   Em
Their promises not just a means to an end and justice isn't what's legal
             F
It's what is right

                       C     F                       C     F
But the king of Island ready echoes the cries of the clown
      F                    Em       F                       Dm
Heaps pain on the sick and needy to soften the Ice-maiden's frown
    F                    G
And we take it all lying down
