AmD7
There goes one baby's life, It's such a small amount
FG
She's un-American, I guess it doesn't count.
AmD7
Six thousand children's lives, Were simply thrown away
FG
Lost without medicine, Inside of thirty days.
AmD7
In the New York harbour, Where the stock's withheld
FG
It was the price we paid, For a safer world
[Chorus]
AmD7
World is suffering, World is suffering
FG
World is suffering, World citizen
[Verse 2]
AmD7
In Madhya Pradesh, Where they're building dams
FG
They're displacing native people, From their homes and lands
AmD7
So they hunger strike, Cos they believe they count
FG
To lose a single life, Is such a small amount
AmD7
In the name of progress, And democracy
FG
The concepts represented, In name only
[Chorus]
AmD7
His world is suffering, Her world is suffering
FG
Their world is suffering, World citizen, World citizen
[Verse 3]
AmD7
And the buildings fall, In a cloud of dust
FG
And we ask ourselves, How could they hate us?
AmD7
Well, when we live in, Ignorance and luxury
FG
While our super powers practice, Puppet mastery
AmD7
We raise the men, Who run the fascist states
FG
And we sell them arms, So they maintain their place
AmD7
We turn our backs, On the things they done
FG
Their human rights record, And the guns they run
[Chorus]
AmD7
His world is suffering, Her world is suffering
FG
Their world is suffering, World citizen
AmD7
My world is suffering, Your world is suffering
FG
Our world is suffering, World citizen
[Verse 4]
AmD7
Who'll do away with flags?, Who'll do us proud?
FG
Remove the money from their pockets, Scream dissent out loud?
AmD7
Cos God ain't on our side, The shoe won't fit
FG
And though they think the war is won, That's not the last of it
AmD7
Disenfranchised people, Need their voices heard
FG
And if no one stops to listen, Lose their faith in words
AmD7
And violence rises, When all hope is lost
FG
Who'll embrace the human spirit, And absorb the cost?
AmD7
Not one life is taken,
FG
In my name, In my name
[Chorus]
AmD7
His world is suffering, Her world is suffering
FG
Their world is suffering, World citizen
AmD7
My world is suffering, Your world is suffering
FG
Our world is suffering, World citizen
[Outro]
AmD7
Not one life is taken
FG
In my name, In my name
