fighting to defend your rights

so you can maintain the lifestyle
D5 D#5-D5

looking down on their very foundation
D#5-D5 D#5-D5
Constantly reminding us that our actions
D5 D#5-D5
are the cause of all their problems
D5 D#5-D5
pointing their fingers in every direction
D5 D#5-D5
Blaming their own nation for who wins elections
