They say the skies of [E] Lebanon [D] are burning Those mighty sea [D]-birds bleeding in the evening
They're showing pictures on the television [G] [D] Women and children dying in the streets
[G] And we're still lying in our own place Still [D] trying to face the future right apart
Still [G] trying to carve [A] tomorrow from a [D] tombstone
Oh, hey, don't listen to me This wasn't meant to be no sad [A] song
[D] We've heard too much of life before
[Em] [D] Right now I only [A] wanna be [D] with you
[G] Tomorrow [D] I'll arrange [A] [D] you a spa I wanna take you to [G] the island
I'm [D] traced off the books and saw [G] [D] I'm in the [G] evening [D] when the sun goes down
We're going to the sun of the ocean
They're raising bombers over by the markets [G] And [D] whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
[G] Witch [D] doctors praying for a mighty showdown [E] No [D] way a holy [G] flag [D] is gonna fall
[G] Up here we sacrifice our children [A] To [D] feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
Teach [G] them dying won't lead us into glory
[D] Oh, hey, [A] don't listen to [D] me This wasn't meant to be no sad song
[G] [D] We've heard too much of life before [G] [D] Right now I only [A] wanna [D] be with you

[D] Now I know us pained folks don't see our story [G] And I [D] know that peace and love's just not enough
And I guess these young boys [Em]
[D] dying in the ditches It's just what being free is all about
And all [G] those twisted records down on Main Street Will [D] bring us all together in the end
And [G] we'll [D] go marching on [G] the roads of freedom
