Intro / x 6 verse 1 Take all the Metal and Wood Used in the waging war And teach the men that make those weapons To build shelter for the poor verse 2 Take all the money we spend On the way that we appear Find the ones that die of hunger And help them to see another year Before we fade away Let's make a better day This world will keep on turning After we are gone... long gone. Solo: / x 4 verse 3 There is a forest I loved Where the air was fresh and clean We took the forest for a factory So we could build some more machines verse 4 When I was young I learned to sing And music blossomed in my soul We took the music from the schools And left the darkest, gaping holes. Chorus:
