    Psychiatrists and lawyers
Bm       G         D      D/C#
    destroying mankind

Bm   G             D      D/C#
    Driving them crazy

Storing the silver and hoarding the gold

When you're being held to ran- som

Bm      G           D      D/C#
    in true living colour

Bm   G          D      D/C#

    and Arabs and Jews

Bm   G          D        D/C#
    Causing congestion
Bm       G           D
    and filling the queues
Em            Bm           C      Em
Fighting for freedom, the truth and the word
Bm           D/A         E/G#        A
Fighting the war for the end of the world
