F G Am Are we not the ones to spill blood in the street? F G Are we not the ones that eat our young, F C Am destroy the land and sea, F G then cry for help when all is said and done? Verse 2: C Am I could never gague a world around me, F G I could barely scale the wall that we've built. C Am I shy away from hate, or at least I like to say. F G But Arn't all men capable of evil?
