Verse 1

 We F♯m7knew we faced the power that comes from Emoney

 When we Amarched against the Empire's mighty Eschemes

 They were F♯m7armed with special powers and legisElation

 While Awe were armed with F♯m7youth and foolish Bdreams

 But it F♯m7seemed so right in BDerry all that Esummer

 When we Atook them on and F♯m7built our barriBcades

 We were an F♯m7army dressed in Bfaded jeans and Esandals

 Too Ayoung and full of F♯m7pride to feel aBfraid

 And we beF♯m7lieved in things like Bjustice, truth and Efreedom

 And we beAlieved we had a F♯m7right to liberBty

 And we beF♯m7lieved that we could Bbuild a new toEmorrEm7ow C♯m

 That's how it F♯m7seemed to BPeter Pan and EMe.

Verse 2

But we soon learned the truth of street rebellion

As that city crumbled 'round us, stone by stone

Betrayed by those who promised they would help us

Against tanks and troops and guns we stood alone

For revolution is no game for foolish dreamers

For dreamers never know the price that must be paid

And before long we learned all power comes from a rifle

And we learned to bleed and die and be afraid

And soon no one talked of justice truth and freedom

And soon no one gave one damn for liberty

For all we hoped was that we might go on surviving.

We grew up fast young Peter Pan and Me.

Verse 3

Then the Empire dealt us death and fear and prison

There's no mercy from that military machine

So our street kids swopped their faded jeans and sandals

For hoods and guns with loaded magazines

And the years have wrought their cruel retribution

And our brothers and our sisters bear the pain

As both sides strive for their military solution

And the politicians play their murderous games

And among the dead lie justice, truth and freedom

And among the dead lie hope and liberty

So if you care enough to mourn brave new tomorrows

Pull up a chair, join Peter Pan and Me.
