Standard (EADGBE)

How many children must die

How many rivers run dry

How many angels must cry

For silver and gold

Why don't we learn from our past

(How) many more years will we last

Life is just moving so fast

For silver and gold

How much more time can we waste

How much more land be de-faced

('Cause) soon we will all be e-rased

For silver and gold

('Cause our) earth should last for-e-ver

And our lives for-ever on, oooooon

(For) God gave us all to par-take

(Why) can't we just learn to re-late

(We're) pissing on our children's face

For silver and gold

repeat : Am-G-D till fade
