It's a New Year And We've Never Been So Old

Bb        Dm
Flying to the Moon
         Bb
Inside Apollo 11
                   Dm
Was my dream last night

Bb            Dm
Floating in the dark
             Bb
With little fuel and full of hope
               Dm
Searching any light

Bb                          Dm
I’m looking for a garden for me
                                   Bb
I’m broken, scared and with weak knees
                          Dm
I need a new place for myself
Bb                           Dm
Every right my people have earned
                                   Bb
Achieved and fought for, are now burned
                          Dm
You only think about yourself

Bb                Dm
Can you hear my voice?
                          Bb
They don’t even seem to hear each other
                             Dm
With all those massive sick thoughts
            Bb
And on one side, they fight
        Dm                      Bb
On the other, they cry out for chaos
                 Dm
Until all is destroyed

                Bb
Please, people, move backwards
            Dm
While they throw all those darts
        Bb                                       Dm
At the weakest targets and scream in the name of God

         Bb
Oh, Mr. President
             Dm
Its hard to call you this way
                    Bb
Because you should work for all
                                 Dm
Not judging on color, gender or race

         Bb
Oh, Mr. President
               Dm
Tell me, why don’t you care?
            Bb
I’m sorry, but I cannot understand
              Dm
What God is that

     Bb                      Dm
But history will charge and won’t forgive
             Bb                      Dm
And we, the people, we won’t ever forget

        Bb                               Dm
It’s a new year and we’ve never been so old
        Bb                               Dm
It’s a new year and we’ve never been so old
        Bb                               Dm
It’s a new year and we’ve never been so old
        Bb                               Dm
It’s a new year and we’ve never been so old

        Bb                           Dm
It’s a new year, when did we get so cold?
        Bb                             Dm
It’s a new year, why are you all blindfolded?
        Bb                              Dm
It’s a new year and we are a fucked up world
        Bb                             Dm
It’s a new year and our land is being sold

 Dm                 Bb                  Dm
And all we have is love, I can hear ourselves
                  Bb                    Dm
You bet we will hold on, I can hear ourselves
                      Bb                   Dm
We’ve never been so strong, I can hear ourselves
                       Bb                   Dm
And we don’t need more guns, I can hear ourselves

                    Bb                  Dm
And all we have is love, I can hear ourselves
                    Bb                  Dm
And all we have is love, I can hear ourselves
                    Bb                  Dm
And all we have is love, I can hear ourselves
                    Bb                  Dm
And all we have is love, I can hear ourselves

        Bb
It’s a new year
        Dm
It’s a new year
        Bb
It’s a new year
        Dm      A
It’s a new year

Five, four, three, two, one, happy old year
                             Dm
Love is a word not found by them
