Famines will be famines, banquets will be banquets
 C                Dm        G  F             C    Dm  G   F
Some spend winter in a palace, some spend it in blankets.

Donʼt wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away

Donʼt shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today

Em                 F
Time to end the praying
Em                    F
Listen what theyʼre saying
G
Get up off our knees
         C                          Dm
You can wag your finger ʼtill your angerʼs sore

Shake your head ʼtill it shakes no more

Paupers will be paupers, bankers will be bankers

Some own pennies in a jar, some own oil tankers
      C                Dm     G              F
What may sound like tomorrow could be ours today
        C                  Dm              G              F
Thereʼs no more need for sorrow if we get off our knees to pray

Em                 F
Time to end the praying

Some have lost their folks at war, some have given orders

Donʼt wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away

Donʼt shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today
