fighting to defend your rights

so you can maintain the lifestyle

D#5-D5 D5
looking down on their very foundation

D#5-D5 D#5-D5
Constantly reminding us that our actions

D5 D#5-D5
are the cause of all their problems

D5 D#5-D5
pointing their fingers in every direction

D5 D#5-D5
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
