the tender flesh is penetrated

with bloody cross you're initiated

1 [Em] We are all numbers [G A] in a sta [Em] tistic [G A]
With sta [Em] tistics is easy [G A] to measure ex [Em] istence [G A]
[Em] That one's successfull, [G A] the other's a [Em] failure [G A]
[Em] You are the star [G A] while your score is in [Em] favour [G A]

[G] This is progress, [A] no [Em] less [G A] [Em G A Em]

2 [Em] A senseless game [G A] by the ones in con [Em] trol [G A]
[Em] Brains drain [G A] where [Em] money flows [G A]
[Em] For job security [G A] and a [Em] pension [G A]
[Em] wars are started [G A] with [Em] good intentions [G A]

3 [Em] But there's a gray line between the [G] "good" and the [A] "bad"
[Em] a statistical error that one [G] always ne [A] glects
the out [Em] liers, the marginals, the [G] homeless, the [A] freaks
[Em] the hopeless ones for whom [G] no one [A] weeps

4 [Em] The silent majority that [G] never for [A] gets
[Em] Forever ignored, but [G] is not dead [A] yet
[Em] Now we have the tools and we [G] have the i[A] deals
It's [Em] time to wake up and [G] make our stand [A] real

[G] This is progress, [A] no [Em] less [G A] x2

5 [Em] Half of the net [G A] world's [Em] worth [G A]
[Em] is owned by 1% [G A] of the world's [Em] dirt [G A]
[Em] As superpowers [G A] colonize new [Em] markets [G A]
[Em] humans are trafficked [G A] and children are [Em] starving [G A]

[G] This is progress, [A] no [Em] less [G A] [Em G A Em]

6 [Em] The West invented [G A] its own [Em] monsters [G A]
Now [Em] we pay in blood [G A] for their [Em] slaughter [G A]
[Em] Keep them divided [G A] and keep them in [Em] fear [G A]
[Em] the Orwellian future [G A] is already [Em] here [G A]

7 [Em] Transparency for the powerful, accounta [G] bility for the [A] rich
[Em] Protection and solidarity for the [G] weak and the [A] sick
[Em] Less politics, dEmagogy, [G] "faith" and re [A] ligion
[Em] Education for all – [G] learning is [A] freedom

8 [Em] Distributed knowledge can [G] not be des [A] troyed
[Em] Anonymous speech can [G] not be con [A] trolled
[Em] Our stronghold – the elec [G] tronic fron [A] tier
[Em] It's time to wake up and [G] make our stand [A] real

[G] This is progress, [A] no [Em] less [G A] x4

[Am] He was a boxer [G] the last of his [Am] kind
[Am] Alone he only [G] fought for his [Am] name
And he [F] knew that de [G] feat is only [Em] making you [Am] strong
[Am] And that victory can [G] never be [Am] bought

[Am] He had no coach, he [G] belonged to no [Am] club
[Am] He learned all he [G] knew from the [Am] street
That it [F] takes more than [G] knuckles to [Em] win a [Am] fight
[Am] and that no fight is [G] larger than [Am] life

[Am] He won medals and had no [G] loss to his [Am] name
[Am] Yet he knew that it's [G] all just a [Am] game
He [F] beat his op [G] ponents yet acc [Em] epted no [Am] praise
[Am] You only win when you [G] conquer your [Am] self

[Am] Then they came with their [G] black suits and [Am] said:
[Am] "From today, buddy, you are [G] fighting for [Am] us!"
And their [F] lawyers sat [G] down with their [Em] papers and [Am] pens
[Am] And he knew that the [G] game has new [Am] rules

Am G Am x2

[Am] Behind the door he heard the [G] cries of his [Am] son
[Am] His mother held him [G] tight in her [Am] arms:
[F] "Don't cry, my [G] child, daddy [Em] soon'll be with [Am] us"
[Am] Then he turned to the [G] gloom in the [Am] room

[Am] "Gentlemen, won't you [G] give me a [Am] day!
[Am] I need to con [G] sider this, if I [Am] may."
[F] "Take your time, [G] champion, just [Em] don't take too [Am] long:
[Am] for tomorrow we'll be [G] back at your [Am] door"

[Am] And in the dark their [G] faceless faces [Am] smiled
[Am] their hollow [G] faceless face [Am] smiles
And their [F] shiny black [G] suits crawled back [Em] one by [Am] one
[Am] in the backs of their [G] shiny black [Am] cars

Am G Am x2
F G Em Am
Am G Am

[Am] The boxer then took his [G] battered old [Am] gloves,
[Am] and put them in his [G] son's sleeping [Am] cot
[F] Dream, my boy, [G] dream and re [Em] member the [Am] time
[Am] When hearts of great men no [G] money could [Am] buy

[Am] He kissed the forehead of his [G] weary [Am] wife
[Am] He straightened [G] the blankets and [Am] put off the light
Then [F] quietly [G] closed the back [Em] door [Am] behind
[Am] And disappeared as a [G] ghost in the [Am] night

[Am] When they came again with [G] their lawyers and [Am] suits
[Am] They banged at the [G] door and [Am] they spitted insults
they [F] cursed and they [G] quarreled and they [Em] screamed and they [Am] cried
[Am] for the heart of great man [G] no money could [Am] buy

Am G Am x2
F G Em Am
Am G Am x2

[Am] No one has seen [G] the boxer since [Am] then
[Am] He was the last of his [G] kind among [Am] men
He [F] knew that more than [G] knuckles takes to [Em] win a [Am] fight
[Am] And that no fight is ever [G] larger than [Am] life

[Am] If some day as you [G] stroll down the [Am] street
[Am] An old man in [G] rags you [Am] happen to meet
[F] be kind to him, [G] bow down, and [Em] give him a [Am] hand x2
[Am] He might be the boxer – [G] a great one among [Am] men x2

Autumn leaves are falling all around
quietly like corpses kiss the ground
The beauty in your eyes is death
When two souls kiss - begins the end

Roots of trees stick out like veins
Morning dew caresses them like tears
The forest breathes through our weakened lungs
The branches touch - like our tongues

(spoken word)

"True philosophers make dying their profession and [...] to them
of all men death is least alarming. [...] They are thoroughly dissatisfied
with the body, and long to have their souls independent of it [...]
When this happens [they are not] frightened, [they are not] distressed.
[...They are] glad to set out for the place where there is a prospect
of attaining the object of their lifelong desire which is wisdom [...]
Surely there are many who have chosen of their own free will to follow
dead lovers and wives and sons to the next world, in the hope of seeing
and meeting there the persons whom they loved. If this is so,
will a true lover of wisdom [...] be grieved at dying? Will he not be glad
to make that journey?" [-- Socrates

Will he not be glad to make that journey?
Will he not be glad to make that journey?

We're million years old like the earth
Born of her, to her we return
The beauty in your eyes is death
When two souls kiss - begins the end

Dead leaves are covering the ground
like waterfalls of blood they flow around
I asked the mushroom why do leaves die
the forest is committing suicide
