I wondered why I had    the blues,     so I turned on the evening  news
                             A                                                         D
Children runnin' from their    school, because of some damn fool had no morals he must   prove

                 D              D7                       G
Another kid laid   in the blood,   another town drowned     in the flood
                       A                                                                         D
Just a tragic trail of    tears, lessons not learned through the years, heaven save us from our     fears

People fightin' in    the streets,    millions with no food    to eat

How much longer can we last,    if we learn nothing from our past, these are the questions    that I ask
