Lyrics

Is there an y one who ev er re mem bers chang ing their mind from the paint on a sign.

Is there an y one who real ly re calls ev er break ing rank at all for some thing some one yelled real loud one time.

Oh, ev ’ry one be lieves

in how they it ought to be.

Oh, ev ’ry one be lieves,

and (Bbmaj7)they’re not go ing eas (Am)i ly.

Be lief is a ti ful ar mor, but makes for the heav i est sword.

Like punch ing un der wa ter, you (Dm)nev er can hit who you’re try ing (Gm)for.

Some need the ex hi bi tion, some have to know they tried.

It’s the chem i cal weap on for the war that’s rag ing on in side.

Oh, ev ’ry one be lieves,

from (Bbmaj7)emp ti ness to ev ’ry thing.

Oh, ev ’ry one be lieves,

and (Bbmaj7)no one’s go ing qui et ly.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm7)win the world.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm)stop the war.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm7)beat this if be lief is what we’re fight ing for.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm7)win the world.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm)stop the war.

We’re nev er gon na (Gm7)beat this if be lief is what we’re fight ing for.

is what we’re fight ing for.

Is there an y one

who can re mem ber, ev er sur ren der, with their life on the line?

Da (Gm7)da da da da (Gm6)da da (Gm)da da da da (Dm)da da (Gm7)da da da da (Gm6)da da.

What puts a hun dred thou sand chil dren in the sand?

Be lief can,

be lief can.

What puts the fold ed flag in side his moth er’s hand?

Be lief can,

be lief can.
