  LYRICS

  

  Em                          Cadd9 (alt G bass)

  Ministers meet, work on the movement of goods

  Em                           Cadd9 

  Also work on the movement of capital

  Em                           Cadd9                 

  Also work on the movement of human beings

  Em                    Cadd9   

  As if we were so many cattle

  

  [chorus]

        G      F#m           C    Am7     G

  We're grim   travellors in dawn skies

  G        F#m                C      Am   G

  See the beauty it makes 'em cry inside

  G         F#m             C           Am7  hold on bass A note-

  Makes 'em angry, and they don't know why

        G     C             G     C   G  Am7    Em vamp

  We're grim travellors in dawn skies

  

  Twelve,  mercenaries got weapons primed

  Gonna take that African nation in record time

  You wonder why they bother, why not leave it alone they say

  Every man wants a place he can call his own  

  

  [vamp]

  

  Em line (top str.)

  

  --3-3--2-2--0-0----

  --3-3--3-3--3-3----

  

  Redness, richer than a rose

  Blooms against the backdrop of somebody's white clothes

  Bitter little boys and girls in the red Army underground

  They'd blow away Karl Marks if he had the nerve to come around

  [chorus]

  

  

  Down on the plain of ten thousand smoke stacks

  Trucks butt each other into established dominance

  Newspapaer leans over to me and says matter o' factly

  Sacred mountain towers above meadows high and above us uh-huh

  [chorus]
