[Intro] Once there was a nation here Bb        Csus2 D5 Now there is no more. Once we fought to change our fears     Bb       Csus2  D5 But now this is our war. This is our war                               This is our war                          [Bridge]        Aaug [Verse 1] Wash your mind out where’s your morals? Bb                      Aaug      A How many people have to live this sorrow? Life should not be begged or borrowed Bb                      Aaug     A How many really want to change tomorrow? We’re still playing the prideful game       Bb                     Aaug  A As we profile the enemy that we created. We’re still playing the prideful game With the cards on the table In the end we’re all the same   Where’s the compassion in the world today? Yeah we’re all the same   Until we find another way Aaug      A This  is  our [Chorus 1] Once there was a nation here Bb        Csus2 D5 Now there is no more.

[Bridge]        Aaug [Verse 2] Divisive words from ivory towers Bb                        Aaug A Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers. Countless fools and reckless cowards Bb                      Aaug      A Rally the people in the quest for power. We’re still playing the prideful game       Bb                     Aaug  A As we profile the enemy that we created. We’re still playing the prideful game With the cards on the table In the end we’re all the same   Where’s the compassion in the world today? Yeah we’re all the same   Until we find another way Aaug      A This  is  our [Chorus 2] Once there was a nation here Bb        Csus2 D5 Now there is no more Once we fought for change arm in arm     Bb       Csus2  D5 But now this is our war. Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home? Don’t let the old style generation Carry the flag for you and me no more. This is our war                     This is our war                          [Bridge 2] We’re into the red. We’re into the red. And as it burns the fire spreads. We’re under the threat. We’re under the threat. Will it still burn tomorrow?

[Chorus 3] Once there was a nation here Bb        Csus2 D5 Now there is no more Once we fought for change arm in arm     Bb       Csus2  D5 But now this is our war. Is this the land of segregation? Is this a place that we call home? Don’t let the old style generation Carry the flag for you and me no more. Once there was a nation divided Bb       Csus2  D5 Now this is our war. Once we stand embraced arm in arm     Bb       Csus2     D We stand for something more
