This is the street...
F G
of sensless crime and poverty
a
and the color...
F g
if you should pay the penalty
a F d
a
this is the city...
F G
the power gain and influence
a
where the poor...
F d
and we're still told it's coincidents
G a
It's the same old self- survival dance
G a
that we're all born with an equal chance
d F G
But who could be so blind that they could never see
Refrain:
a
That this is my land
F G
and I can't pretend that it's nothing to do with me
a
and this is your land
F G
you can't close your eyes for the things you don't wanna see

a
this is the country...
F G
and cops on the take on comoon place
a
the next...
F G
by them politicians that matches strength
a
This is a world...
F G
but theres still no cure for the common cold
a

in the name of god and national pride
G a
And the line we use to convince ourselves:
G a
"It's not our fault, it can't be helped!"
d F G
Don't tell me we're so blind we can not see
Refrain:
a
that this is my land
F G
and I can't pretend that it has nothing to do with me
a
and this is your land
F G
you can't close xour eyes for this hypocricy
a
Yes this is my land
F G
and i won't pretend that is has nothing to do with me
a
'Cuz this is our land
F G
We cant close our eyes to the things we don't wanna see
