Dm
All that we can do is just survive
F                             Am               Dm
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
All that we can do is just survive
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive

Am
Ragged lines of ragged gray
                          G
Skeletons, they shuffle away
Shouting guards and smoking guns
                     Am
Will cut down the unlucky ones

   Am                             Em
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
   F
A wound that will not heal
A heart that cannot feel
 Am                     Em
Hoping that the horror will recede
 F                                  Am
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed
Sickness to insanity
                  G
Prayer to profanity
Days and weeks and months go by
Don't feel the hunger
     Am
Too weak to cry

Chorus:
   Am                                Em
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
         F
Are the liberators here?
Do I hope or do I fear?
        Am                    Em
For my father and my brother, it's too late
    F                                 Dm
But I must help my mother stand up straight

Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?
Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?

Chorus

Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?
Are we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to survive?
