[Verse 1]

Em       Bm           Am                 C/G
State is burning but there's not enough water
Em             Bm      C
To extinguish, put the fire out
Em                  Bm           Am           C/G
I support the activist, Nihilists an anarchists
Am                    Bm
Gonna go and tear this wall


Em                  Bm
I'll never vote for anyone
Am             C/G
I don`t think elections
Em                   Bm
Could ever bring us something
C
like the change we need
Em            Bm
Fighting over property
Am             C/G
families and poverty
Am               Bm
One fail state, incomplete!


[Chorus]

Em                     Bm
How can I burn in this place so long?
C                        D
How come I live with the enemy?
Em                       Bm
How can I love when it`s hate I know?
C                             D
How long will it take till we all agree?

[Verse 2]


Em                  Bm
Lies piled up like shit
Am                 C/G
Someone's always hiding

Em             Bm            C
all he wanna hear is nothing but the truth
Em              Bm
War is obligation
Am                C/G
it gives you no protection
Am               Bm
STOP! It's destroying you too

Em                  Bm
People of the gutter
Am                 C/G
Politician trash
Em             Bm       C
Only motive is how to get your cash
Em             Bm       Am          C/G
They're milking the cow that I call my life
Em             Bm
all our time is running out
C             D
Now is this how we gonna die?


[Chorus]

Em                     Bm
How can I burn in this place so long?
C                        D
How come I live with the enemy?
Em                       Bm
How can I love when it`s hate I know?
C                             D              C
How long will it take till we all agree?

[Bridge]

                           C                   G
Now we can waste more time and silently refrain
D                   C
Afraid to speak our mind
                           C
It's hard to live a lie
                    G        D                    C
When all we see is shame and pressure in our lives


Am    Bm


[Chorus]

Em                     Bm
How can I burn in this place so long?
C                        D
How come I live with the enemy?
Em                       Bm
How can I love when it`s hate I know?
C                             D
How long will it take till we all agree?
