D                            Bm
What do they want from you?
D
A rendezvous upon the sound
D                              Bm
The cars rev up, the word goes round
D
Their words are weapons of their will
D                                     Bm
Their words can hurt, their words can kill

[Bridge 1]
C  A     C  A
C                    D
A burning phrase can burn a town
Bm
A syllable can bring you down
Bm
Their languages are coded
Bm
Your image is eroded

[Verse 2]
D
Listen to the sound you heard
D                            Bm
Learn to fight against their word: vocabularies of death
D
Destruction in their breath
             Bm
They use the lie, they use the myth, seek only to confuse
            D
And liberty abuse - the lies they tell are pretty
            Bm
And blow up another city
C          A
They steal away your freedom
C         A
And your love

[Coda]

Bm
Their sentimental calling signs
Bm
Are calculatingly designed
Bm
To rob you of your mind and time
Bm
And still you listen to
Bm
The lulling drone of reassuring voices
Bm
Tuned to take away your choices
Bm
Make you slave to fancy words and phrases
Bm
Until you're pushing up the daisies
Bm
To rob you...
Bm
Mind and Time
Bm
To rob you...
Bm
They steal away your freedom and your love
