Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Saw[G][Am][G][Am][G][Am][G]
[Am]
the news in the [G]afternoon
[Am]'Nother war will be com[G]ing soon
[Am]Man ripped up like a p[G]iece of paper
With his [Am]wife looking on and [G]no
one to help her
[Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Hammill says we're still
in the dark ages
With people's greed and [G]hating rages
[Am]The world don't learn
so the [G]world will burn
The [Am]world will burn cause the [G]world
[Am]won'[G]t le[Am]arn[G][Am][G]

[Verse 3]
[Am]Looks like I'm gonna build[G]
my shelter again
Such a messed up world
we're living [Am]in today
Thank [G]God for the [C]rain,
maybe it'll wash that [Am]scum away

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Streets ain't safe in this [G]town no [Am]more
A girl get hassled at [G]her front door
[Am]Vi olence rising out of hand
Can't bring the kids up [G]in
this land
[Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Getting mugged on your way home
By kids with masks and [G]knives they own
How [Am]long will it be 'til they [G]got [Am]a gun
And hoot you down just
like a [G]dog [Am]for fun[G]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Looks like I'm gonna build[G]
my shelter again
Such a messed up world
we're living [Am]in today
Thank [G]God for the [C]rain, maybe it'll wash that scum

[Verse 7]
Thought my sensitiv[G]ity would be [Am]smashed,
by some inner city [G]wisdom [Am]trash
Instead my own phobia [G]ec centricity is
[Am]growing out [G]of every bit [Am]of me[G][Am][G]
I [Am]like my home I [G]don't want to move
but [Am]may be I'll be f[G]orced soon
To [Am]lock [G]the[Am] doors and board[G]
[Am]up t[G]he windows[Am][G]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Looks like I'm gonna build[G]

[Verse 9]
[Am]People die [G]and nature replaces
[Am]You see the lives in all the f[G]aces
Of so-called [Am]lunatics lunatics
and [G]basket cases
Who'd hang [Am]themselves with their
[G]shoe laces
[Am][G]

[Verse 10]
[Am][G]
They [Am]have no place in [G]the rat race
As a [Am]society which [G]just misplaces
Puts [Am]more importance
on money [G]not faces
And have [Am]it's sleeves filled with [G]all
the aces
[Am][G][Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 11]
[Am]Looks like I'm gonna build[G]
my shelter again
Such a messed up world
we're living [Am]in today
[G]Thank God for the rai[C]n, maybe it'll wash that scu[G]m away
