Chorus:
   E
No war no greed
  A
That would be something to see
          E
I hope I live that long

     E
No blood in the streets
 A
Just a distant memory
             E
The history books recount

 G#   C#m            A  E
Now-o-ow we're all free
 G#   C#m            A  E
Now-o-ow we're all free

Chorus

No want, no need
The struggle to end poverty
Finally has been won

Now we're all free
Now we're all free

Chorus

Hold my constitution
And have the courage of heart and mind
To right what is wrong

Now we're all free
Now we're all free

             G#            C#m
But now you can't believe what you're told
     A                      E
You can't believe what you hear
      G#             C#m
The speeches of the politicians
         A            E
Ring untrue and insincere
     G#             C#m
You can't believe what you read
     A                    E
You can't believe what's said
      G#               C#m
They count the targets and the bombs
     A
But do not count the dead
      B
They do not count the dead

Chorus

Not lose my faith
In every word on the page
In the face of freedom

No war, no greed
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
Don't wanna lose my faith
In every word on the page
Don't wanna lose my faith
In every word on the page
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
No war, no greed
