"Graffiti The World"
by: Frédéric Philippi
Hope you enjoy the song!
Play the Bm11, as a normal bm chord on the second fret but with the 6th string
open so it becomes an e, And the E7 chord a normal E chord with a d on the b string
Intro = Bm11 + Asus2+ E7 (those are the chords for the main verse)
Bm11
You know, they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Asus2
So vengeful and mother earth has been done wrong
E7
And I think she's sick
Yo, she's pukin up lava
Bm11
Her nerves tremble along fault lines ready to drop an entire city of filth
that's been forced upon her
Asus2
We built these towers of Babel and feel remorse for nada
E7
The momma divorce the father
The children are droppin blotter
The rich get richer, poverty's hot under the collar
Takin prayer outta schools and we're tryin to raise scholars
Creationism vs. the theory of evolution
Air, water, land, mind, body and soul pollution
Kids steppin on land mines from wars we're all losin
We're chasin false idols, erasing from our bibles the golden rule
the youth are becoming more suicidal
Who teaches them, you and I do
No wonder they want to fight you
Raised by hypocrites, you feel lied to.
Chorus
Chorus = Bm11, Asus2, G6/add9, Asus2
Bm11, Asus2, G6/add9, Asus2, E
Bm11 Asus2
Graffiti the land with skyscrapers
G6/add9 Asus2
Graffiti the sky with airplanes and satellites
Bm11 Asus2
Graffiti the minds of children with your man-made laws
G6/add9 Asus2 E
Graffiti the world, I saw the writing on the wall
verse 2
We've got ABC, NBC, MTV, TNT, the BBC, DVD, VHS, DSL, A and E, XTC, mp3, FCC, THC, NRA, GOP??.. ADD
The fight for free speech, lack of responsibility
Thieves in positions of power
Internet pornography
Guns in the home for fear that the next knock at the door could be death
The terrorists are in the White House and oversees
Racists, separatists, vicious militias
The Buddhists, the Hindus, the Muslims, the Christians
Could it be our biggest barrier is language
Or is oil that important that one would inflict anguish
So cars can deplete the ozone on highways
That stretch across the land where Indians once raised families
We're in denial, the world is afraid
And you say there's no more slaves
Hook:
Graffiti the land with skyscrapers
Graffiti the sky with airplanes and satellites
Graffiti the minds of children with your man-made laws
Graffiti the world, I saw the writing on the wall
Intermezzo= E then you slide the E chord to the 3rd fret then to the 4th and to the 6th
E
We're addicted to planes, trains and automobiles
E 3rd fret
We're addicted to addiction
We dig livin in fiction
E 4th fret
For money, power, respect, the Army's got to go kill
E 6th Fret
They're under contract so let the blood spill
E
Sorta morbid ain't it this picture that I just painted
It's an epiphany I had
I realized just how tainted our thinking really is
While in New York when I saw a teenager being arrested for taggin a fuckin wall.
Chorus
Graffiti the land with skyscrapers
Graffiti the sky with airplanes and satellites
Graffiti the minds of children with your man-made laws
Graffiti the world, I saw the writing on the wall
