[Verse 1]

Am
You are born into this world,
        G                    Am
Looking down the barrel of a gun.
Am                     G
And those who hold the gun,
            Am
Want you to work fast and die young.
Am
And if you don't work,
G
If you don't obey,
        Am
They'll make you live in fear 'til your dying day.
      G
Those who govern hold the gun,
   Am
To your head.
     G                                     Am
With religions, corporations 'proud of the blood,
Am
They have shed.


[Chorus 1]

C
Whether it's God or the Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am                           G
It's only fear under another name.
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am                           G
It's only fear under another name.


[Verse 2]

Am
And the corporate snakes coming in to feed,
   G                           Am
On that pathetic fact known as human greed.
     G
Skin and bone being raked over those hot coals,
     Am
This dump never seems to give time to human soul.
Am                                   G
And if all those things that we have learnt,
G                      Am
No time for questions, you'll just get burnt.
N.C.     G                Am
(Listen) You'll …just get burnt.


[Chorus 2]

C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am                           G
It's only fear under another name.
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am                           G
It's only fear under another name.

[Verse 3]

Am
And those words crush you flat,
          G
Like your skull's under a brick.
    Am
And the fear's so damn strong,
        G
That it makes you sick.
Am                                   G
And you can see right through those eyes,
G                                 Am
That make you fear, that make you lie.
Am
And you're taught to hold high,
        G
Yet you wonder why.
G    Am
Dumb values forced upon you by the,
G      Am
Living lie.


[Chorus 3 (Repeat), for Chorus 4]

C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am                           G
It's only fear under another name.
C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am                           G
It's only fear under another name.


[Chorus 5]

C
Whether it's God or the 'Bomb,
C
It's just the same.
Am                           G
It's only fear under another name.
