[D]
[Am]If

[Verse 1]
we seek solace in the prisons of the distant pas[D]t[Am]
Security in human systems we're
told will always always [D]last
[Am]Emotions are the sail and
blind faith is [D]the mast
[Am]Without the breath of real freedom
we're getting nowhere [D]fast[Am]

[Verse 2]
If [Am]God is dead and an actor plays his [D]part
His [Am]words of fear will find a
place in your [D]heart
[Am]Without the voice of reason every
faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things
can [D]only [Am]get w[D]orse[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Sooner or later just like the world
first [D]day[Am]
Sooner or later we learn
to throw the past away
Sooner or later [D]just [Am]like
the world first day
Sooner or later we learn
to throw the past away
Sooner or [D]later [Am]we learn
to throw the past away

[Verse 4]
History will teach [Am]us nothing

[Verse 5]
History will teach us nothing
[D]Our[A] wr[Am]itten history is
a catalog [D]of crime
[Am]The sordid and the powerful,
the architects of [A]time[D]
[Am]The mother of invention,
the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity,
aggression as its child
[D][Am]

[Verse 6]
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later

[Verse 7]
Sooner or later
[D][Am]
Convince an enemy,
convince him that he's wrong
[D]Is [A]to win[Am] a bloodless battle
where victory is [D]long
[A]A simple act[Am] of faith
In reason over [D]might[A]
[Am]To blow up his children will
only prove him [D]right
[Am]History will teach us [A]nothing
Sooner or [E]later just like the
world first [D]day
Sooner or [E]later [A]we learn to
[D]throw the pas[A]t away
Sooner or [E]later just like the
world first [D]day
Sooner or [E]later we [F#m]learn to throw
the past [D]away
Sooner or [E]later we [F#m]learn
[D]to throw the past [E]away
[Am]History

[Verse 8]
[D]will teach us nothing[Am][D]
[Am]History [D]will teach us noth[Am]ing

[Verse 9]
[Am]Know [D]you[A]r human rights[D]
[A]Be what you come here [D]for
[A]Know your human rig[D]hts
[A]Be what you come here for[D]
Know your [A]human [D]rights
[A]Be what you [D]come [A]here for
[D]Know you[A]r[D][A][D][A][D][A]
