[Verse 1]
Can you name me a living creature
[C]That kills it's compet[Am]itors [C]for food?
[Am]And when they're gone
he kills the
[C]Competitors of [Am]its food's food [C]too
[Am]I'm talking about the birds,
[C]the aphids
The insects, [Am]and the [C]trees
[Am]'Cause there's innum[C]erable
extinct species [Am]among [C]these
[Am]

[Verse 2]
We've been enacting
[C]a story for 12,000 years
[Am]The one that says [C]that man
must follow no natural [Am]law
[C]The one that says that man
is distinctly [Am]separate
From [C]every living [Am]thing
That man [C]is the end result
of evolu[Am]tion[C]
[Am]That man is [C]the end result of evolution
[Am][C][Am][C][Am][C]

[Verse 3]
Yes the clan of [C]Cain killed the clan of Abel
So that Cain [Am]could bear the fruit
of Abel's [C]land
[Am]So man has been ki[C]lling his
brother from the
Beginning of the agricultural
[Am]revolu[C]tion[Am][C][Am]

[Verse 6]
Yes you know
that [C]the war will never be over
'Cause [Am]war is our bread [C]and butter
[Am]'Cause we're living a lie that says [C]there's no
place for [Am]any other[C][Am]
Living creature that [C]doesn't
think like [Am]you a[C]nd me
[Am]Yes now we're going to t[C]he root
of the [Am]Taker [C]Story
[Am]We decide

[Verse 7]
[C]what's good and bad
for [Am]the entire universe
[C]And[Am] if what you do don't work for
[C]us [Am]we'll turn you into d[C]ust
[Am]You [C]savages are wild s[Am]o
naked and so [C]free
[Am]If you d[C]on't want to die you
[Am]have to live [C]like [Am]me

[Verse 8]
You Takers take [C]and take
[Am]and take and take [C]and take
[Am]You Takers take [C]and take and take
[Am]and take and t[C]ake

[Verse 9]
So even though you won't be[C]lieve it
native people are [Am]still around[C][Am]
They treat the earth with [C]re spect
they know [Am]it's sacred [C]ground
[Am]They live in remote [C]places
the takers still can't [Am]colonize[C]
[Am]They are the true voice of reas
[C]on they have [Am]nature's [C]eyes
[Am]

[Verse 10]
They've been enact
[C]ing the story for 3 million [Am]years
The one that [C]says that human
must obey nat[Am]ural law
[C]The one that says that human is
con[Am]nected [C]to every living thing
[Am]That man is on[C]ly one strand in the web of li[Am]fe
[C][Am][G][Am][G][C][Am][G][Am][C]

Take the dag[G]ger out your
[C]mind[G][Am][G][C]
