    Cm               Ab          Eb          Bb
    Cm           Ab             Eb           Bb

Cm
East and West cannot agree so the
Cm                                       Ab
generals gave call "gather troops at the border"
Cm
With guns at ready drawn and aimed
Cm                                                               Ab
and soldiers praying to a god to bless them with strength and courage

           Bb     Cm          Ab          Eb         Bb
And it was in his name that artillery lit the sky on fire
                Bb      Cm       Ab               Eb 
      Bb
The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Cm                           Ab
Protest songs in response to military aggression
Eb                             Bb
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
Bb
The battle Raged On...

    Cm               Ab          Eb          Bb

Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war
civilian casualties had been a cost that was predetermined
When interviewed for report victims plead in frustration
their claim that this was a war without a reason

And bureaucrats engaged in debate to try to reach a resolution
The people sing protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
The battle Raged On...

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
The battle Raged On...

solo:

         Bb                   Cm           Ab             Eb
While the broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored
Bb
God like the rest of the world just watched in silence
          Bb            Cm                Ab             Eb
There was purpose to be served there were fortunes to be earned
Bb
before a peace could be called to stop the fighting

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun.

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun

Protest songs in response to military aggression
Protest songs try and stop the soldier's gun
The battle Raged On...
