[Verse]
Em         D             A
   Like a song I have to sing,
C               Em
I sing it for you.
          D              A
Like the words I have to bring,
    C
I'm bringing for you.
Em D A C
Em D A

Em       D                 A
And in leather, lace, or chains,
    C         Em
We stake our claim,
    D            A
Revolution once again
C    Em  D
But I won't,
        A               C
I won't wear it on my sleeve.
       Em                 D
I can see through this expression
     A
And you know I don't believe.
     C
I'm too old to be told,
  D
Exactly who are you?
    Em      D            A      C
Tonight, tomorrow's too late.

Em      D              A        C   Em
And we love to wear a badge, a uniform,
        D             A
And we love to fly a flag.
C   Em D         A             C
But I won't let others live in hell,
       Em                  D         A              C
As we divide against each other and fight amongst ourselves.
     C                  D
Too set in our ways to try to rearrange,
     C                          D
Too right to be wrong, in this rebel song.
        Em                   G
Let the bells ring out
        Em                   G
Let the bells ring out
          Em         D        A             C
Is there nothing left? Is there, is there nothing,
         Em            D      A
is there nothing left
C
Is honesty what you want?

Em D A C
Em D A A A C

Em     D              A        C       Em
A generation without name, ripped and torn,
           D                A
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain,
C        Em D
Nothing at all.
        A                 C
And if you can't help yourself,
     Em             D              A                C
Well take a look around you, when others need your time.
             Em      D        A     C
You say it's time to go, it's your time.
       C
Angry words won't stop the fight.
     D
Two wrongs won't make a right.
       C
A new heart is what I need,
         D
Oh God, make it bleed,
         Em
Is there nothing left?

Em
