[Verse 1] Bm D A E
Have you been to the desert? Have you walked with the dead?
Bm D A F#
There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
G D
And the figures don't lie, they speak of human disease
A D A
But we do what we want and we think what we please
[Verse 2] Bm D A E
Have you lived the experience? Have you witnessed the plague?
Bm D A F#
People making babies sometimes just to escape
G D
In this land of competition, the compassion is gone
A D A
Yet we ignore the needy and we keep pushing on
D A
Keep pushing on!
[Chorus 1]Bm G D A
This is just a punk rock song
Bm G D F#
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
G D
Like ants in a colony, we do our share
F#
But there's so many other fucking insects out there
Bm G D F# Bm D A F# Bm D A F#
And this is just a punk rock song
[Verse 3] Bm D A E
Have you visited the quagmire? Have you swam in the shit?
Bm D A F#
The party conventions and the real politics
G D
The faces always different, the rhetoric the same
A D A
But we swallow it all and we see nothing change
D A
Nothing has changed!
[Chorus 2]Bm G D A
This is just a punk rock song
Bm G D F#
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
G D
Like workers in a factory, we do our share
F#
But there's so many other fucking robots out there
Bm G D F# Bm D A F# Bm D A F#
And this is just a punk rock song

[Bridge]Bm D A E
10 million dollars on a losing campaign
Bm D A E
20 million starving and writhing in pain
Bm D A E
Big strong people, unwilling to give
Bm D A F#
Small in vision and perspective
G D
One in five kids below the poverty line
A D A
One population running out of time
D A
Running out of time!
[Chorus 3]Bm G D A
This is just a punk rock song
Bm G D F#
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
G D
Like ants in a colony, we do our share
F#
But there's so many other fucking insects out there
Bm G D F# (Bm)
And this is just a punk rock *(song)
[Outro 1]G D
Figures don't lie they speak of human disease
A D A
But we do what we want and we think what we please
G D
One in five kids below the poverty line
A D A
One population running out of time
[Outro 2]Bm G D A
This is just a punk rock song
Bm G D A
This is just a punk rock song
Bm G D F# Bm
