[Verse 1]
Csus2  C      Csus2  C      Fmaj7   G
Some---body's sel----ling a new   religion,
Csus2  C      Csus2  C      Fmaj7   G
Some---body's sel----ling a lie,
Csus2  C    Csus2  C       Fmaj7        G
Some---body wants  all the strife and division,
       C                     Fmaj7   G
That's driving us out of our minds.
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Em7                   Am7
They're telling the world not trust their own eyes,
        Em7                        Am7
They're telling the people they're wrong,
        Em7                         Am7
They're keeping the truth for their power and gain,
    Fmaj7      G          C
And taking whatever we've got.

[Verse 3]
    C                       Fmaj7            G
And some of you eat all the lies you've been fed,
C                    Fmaj7  G
Some of you just go along,
C                     Fmaj7        G
Training acceptance inside of your head,
   C                       Fmaj7  G
To give them whatever they want.
 
 
[Verse 4]
       Em7                       Am7
You're leaving your brothers and sisters behind,
       Em7                         Am7
You're told it's the best thing to do,
       Em7                                Am7
You're shutting out friends 'cause you're told that's what's right,
         Fmaj7       G         C Csus2 C  Fmaj7  G
Now they win because all of us lose.
 
 
[Chorus]
         Em7 Am7
And it's so  sad,
Em7                          Am7
Watching these times as they change,
         Em7 Am7
And it's so  bad,
    Em7                       Am7
The battle's been violent and strange,
        Fmaj7
As they lock us indoors,
     G                     C
In a prison of this silent war.

[Verse 5]
    C                    Fmaj7        G
Now someone is trying to sell you the cure,
    C                       Fmaj7  G
The same one who made the disease,
            C                       Fmaj7         G
And they'll try to convince you and make you feel sure,
    C                         Fmaj7  G
But hey, there ain't no guarantees.
 
 
[Verse 6]
     Em7                            Am7
They covered your mouth and they've tied back your hands,
     Em7                  Am7
They did it to all of the kids,
    Em7                  Am7
And nobody knows all the damage that's done,
          Fmaj7         G         C  Csus2 C  Fmaj7  G
And won't ask until the master permits,
 
 
[Chorus]
         Em7 Am7
And it's so  sad,
Em7                          Am7
Watching these times as they change,
         Em7 Am7
And it's so  bad,
    Em7                       Am7
The battle's been violent and strange,
       Fmaj7
We all shout behind doors,
     G                     C
In a prison of this silent war.

[Bridge]
   Am7            Em7
So take back your freedom,
    Fmaj7
And fight for your life,
Am7        Em7           Fmaj7
Stand up before it's all gone,
Am7            Em7
Take back your freedom,
    Fmaj7
And fight for your life,
Am7        Em7       Fmaj7   Fmaj7sus2  Fmaj7  Fmaj7sus2
Stand up before it's a-------all        go-----one.

[Chorus]
            Em7 Am7
'Cause it's so  sad,
Em7                          Am7
Watching these times as they change,
         Em7 Am7
And it's so  bad,
    Em7                       Am7
The battle's been violent and strange,
         Fmaj7
We can't let them take more,
         G                        C
We can't let them win this silent war.

So take back what is yours,
       Fmaj7        G           C
Do not let them win this silent war.
