We're still playing the prideful game,
       A#                     A

Once we fought to change our fears,
    A#       C      Dm
But now this is our war.

Divisive words from ivory towers
Seeds of intolerance turn into flowers
Countless fools and reckless cowards
Rally the people in the quest for power

We're still playing the prideful game
As we profile the enemy that we create
Yeah, we're still playing the prideful game
With the cards on the table,
in the end we're all the same
Where's the compassion in the world today?
Yeah, we're all the same
Until we find another way this is our war

Chorus

Is this a place that we call home?
 C            A#             F
Don't let the old style generation
            G                     A
Carry the flag for you and me no more.

            Dm C A# A

We're into the red. We're into the red.
           Am               A#
And as it burns the fire spreads.
                   C                       Dm
We're under the threat. We're under the threat.
               Am     C
Will it still burn tomorrow?

Chorus - x2

Is this the land of segregation?
Is this a place that we call home?
Don't let the old style generation
Carry the flag for you and me no more.

Once there was a nation divided,
Now this is our war.
Once we stand embraced arm in arm
We stand for something more
