Standard (EADGBE)

 How many children must die

 How many rivers run dry

 How many angels must cry

 For silver and gold

 Why don't we learn from our past

 (How) many more years will we last

 Life is just moving so fast

 For silver and gold

 How much more time can we waste

 How much more land be de-faced

 ('Cause) soon we will all be e-rased

 For silver and gold

 ('Cause our) earth should last for-e-ver

 And our lives for-ever on, oooooon

 (For) God gave us all to par-take

 (Why) can't we just learn to re-late

 (We're) pissing on our children's face

 For silver and gold

repeat : Am-G-D till fade
