A cruel madness Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
By Graham Goble
[D]Ego claims the victory,
[Em]the silence [D]closes [Em]again,
Dream [D]rain down on human[Em]ity
as we stand with our [D]face to [Em]the wind,
[D]Prisoners taken and locked away,
[Em]the tri[D]al has [Em]begun,
The [C]truth is [D]forsaken and we cannot [Em]say [C]who is t[D]he fortunate
[Em]one.[E]
[Em][E][Em][E][Em]
[D][A][E][Em][E]
My little [Em]son, [E]he looked
up and said to [Em]me,
"I wanna know,
[E]now who is the [Em]enemy?
The radio just said [E]there was
[Em]gonna be a [D]cruel [A]madness."
[E]A cru[Em]el mad[A]eness,
That our kids have to live in
this world as it is [E]today,
A [Em]cruel mad[A]ness,
You know, I just want out,
I wanna [C]scream and shout and [B]turn it about,
Sail [Em]away.[E]
What can [Em]I say [E]to someone
as young [Em]as you?
How could you know [E]the things
that a man will [Em]do?
Or understand what nobody ever knew,
it's just a [D]cruel [A]mad[Em]ness.[E]
[Em]A cr[A]uel madeness,
That our kids have to live
in this world as it is [E]today,
A [Em]cruel mad[A]ness,
You know, I just want out,
I wanna [C]scream and shout and [B]turn it about,
Sail [C]away.[D][Em][C][D][Em]
[C][D][Em][C][D][E][Em]
[C]Lines are dra[D]wn the[Em] numbers cal[E]led
[Em]for thos[C]e who [D]must obey,[Em]
[C]Sons and [D]daughters climb [Em]the city walls
to [C]give their [D]youth [E]away,[Em]
[C]How much lon[D]ger will insan[Em]ity
[C]reign? When can [D]we go [Em]home?
[C]Why do natio[D]ns want to liv[Em]e this way[D]?
[Em]In t[C]heir world[D] all alone[E] ...[Em]
My little son, don't [E]cry,[Em][E][Em]
You have the power within your life,
Don't be afraid,
your tenderness will stop this [D]cruel [A]mad[E]ness.
[Em]A cr[A]uel madeness,
That our kids have to live
in this world as it is [E]today,
A [Em]cruel mad[A]ness,
You know, I just want out,
I wanna [C]scream and shout and [B]turn it [G]about,[A]
Madeness,
That our kids have to live in
this world as it is [E]today,
A [Em]cruel mad[A]ness,
You know, I just want out,
I wanna [C]scream and shout and [B]turn it about,

[Outro 1]
Sail away.
