God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't out matched
It can't be outrun
No

(D5)
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't out matched
It can't be outrun

(C5)
No
And when I close my eyes tonight
(D5)
To symphonies of blinding light
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
(C5)
Oh
Like memories in cold decay
(A5)
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky

God save us everyone,
