Bm         A
Blood is a river
        E
Flowing darkly amidst the tangled roots of the tall shining city
Crazy flowing mantide migrations
Engorge the big ventricle of heartbroken America

So many heaven hoping, hopeful groping breathers
All tap together quietly and desperately in unison
Hey hey hey
Is anybody listening?

  We're living in troubled times
              Bm       A         G      A
  So many are fighting for their lives
             Bm     D   G
  Why do the troops despise
      A             Bm      D  G  A!  w/ intro
  The news from the front?

Ignorance is the root of fear
And fear is the kindling of anger
War is a bringer of shame 
But never has the burden lain so heavily upon the victim

Rage and desolation, pain and loneliness
Isn't all of it alarmingly familiar?
Hey hey hey
Silence is a killer

  Yeah these are troubled times
  How many more will have to die
  Before the governors can't deny

What is your motivation? Take a good look in the mirror

  So many are fighting for their lives
  How many more will have to die?
  Why does the government decry
  The news from the front?
