[G]

[Verse 1]
Don't want to live in [G]a prison cell
Don't want to live in a smoking
room
Independence just won't come to you

[Verse 2]
In the brief of a diplomat
[G]
Say [D]your pray[G]ers for the future
[C5]Say your prayers f[Bb5]or the pas[D]t
It [Eb]might be round the [D]corner
It might be all we have
Say your [G]prayers

[Verse 3]
[G]
Don't want to live with a compromise
Don't want to live with
hypocrisy
Bureaucracy doesn't have to win

Breaks the cage of the beast within
[G]
[Cm]Say [D]your praye[G]rs in the boar[Bb5]droom

Say your [G]prayers

[Verse 5]
I got the cure for compassion fatigue
[Bb5]Spend a week with the Ti[Cm]morese
Running scared from the [Em]military
You can share you can share

[Interlude 1]
your disease
[G]

[Verse 6]
Now we don't live with [G]an
absent master
We don't live on an island divided
Don't want my kids to grow up in shame
In a country with a different name
Had to throw them out,

[Interlude 2]
had to break the chains
[G][Bb5][Cm][Bb5][D][Eb][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 7]
I got the cure for [D]compassion fatigue
[Bb5]Spend a week with the Ti[Cm]morese
Running scared from the military
[G]I come to you[Em] with a p[G]laintive

[Outro 1]
plea
[G][G][Cm][Bb5][G]
