G7 They say, “Buy when there's blood in the streets
G7Even if the blood is your own”
So they empG7loyed men far away
To G7turn against their home
Bb Centuries in the distant mist

How Clong until
This river of Fblood congeals?

And Geulogies poured Amfrom the stage
But Cnothing changed
The Fdog was caged

All Cblood runs red
White Fpups still bred
