INTRO:
Dm C Dm C Dm C F G
Dm C Dm C Dm C F G
VERSE:
Dm C Dm C
Why must they rob and change us, bring us their new war
Dm C F G
For all of their destruction well forget we've been bled raw
Dm C Dm C
Our leaders just can't help themselves, think their tall and large
Dm C F G
Our world is wide and open, open to sabotage
CHORUS:
Bb C
And if you stand for nothing
Dm Am
My father used to say
Bb C
You'll fight for anything
Dm
Today's our new day
C Dm C Dm F G
VERSE
Dm C
(not sure of this line)
Dm C
Here we are, a city called hazan
Dm C F G
Trembling at this ladder saying I'm a troubled man
Dm C Dm C
Landlords & free holders learned to the a noose
Dm C F G
Tight around out necks and chocked until we're loose
CHORUS:
Bb C
And if you stand for nothing
Dm Am
My father used to say
Bb C
You'll fight for anything
Dm
Today's our new day
VIOLIN SOLO
Bb C Dm Am (repeat)
VERSE
Dm C Dm C
God bless those who read the Bible or study their Koran
Dm C F G
There's a curse on those who use the words to kill another man
Dm C Dm C
Others who don't want to, diminished by respect
Dm C F G
I don't want to be a sideshow in your circus of regrets
CHORUS:
Bb C
And if you stand for nothing
Dm Am
My father used to say
Bb C
You'll fight for anything
Dm
Today's our new day
