D G D
Eighteen and jaded with guns in their hands
A G D
They were fighting for freedom and just what is that?
D G D
Bills to the banks and food for the kids
A G D
Money for college but couldn't get in
D G D
Made all the grades but got taken to task
A G D
By a man in an alley wearing a mask
D G D
Screamed and she begged as the people walked by
A G D
The man, he just laughed and the woman she cried
[Chorus]
D G D
Well, it's time all you people, turn around
A G D
For the life we've been living, messing around
D G D
The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry
A G D
The life we've been killing is your life like mine
[Verse 2]
D G D
The needle is sweet and the snow it is pure
A G D
The pain I've been hiding from I'm finding a cure
D G D
The night it is warm, well the light it is cold
A G D
The family I'm loving, I'm calling them home
[Chorus]
D G D
It's time all you people, turn around
A G D
For the life we've been living, messing around
D G D
The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry
A G D
The life we've been killing is your life like mine
[Verse 3]
D G D
My heart it is thumping, the veins they've been blue
A G D
The blood that's been pumping, it still hasn't met you
D G D
The beard that I'm growing, not fully grown
A G D
The years are not coming the way I thought they would
D G D
I'm hoping and waiting for something to sing
A G D
Like the angels in heaven, the bones on the street
D G D
Hoping for love to find a new voice
A G D
The song that needs singing has already been sung before
[Chorus]
D G D
Well, it's time all you people, turn around
A G D
For the life we've been living, messing around
D G D
The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry
A G D
The life we've been killing is your life like mine
G D
Turn around
A G D
For the life we've been living, messing around
D G D
The blood we've been spilling will bleed us dry
A G D
The life we've been killing is your life like mine
