C Cadd2 A
I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
C Cadd2 A
I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
C Cadd2 A
But now I deal with all the consequence that troubles our times
C Cadd2 A
I carry on and never once have even questioned why


CHORUS:

A Asus2 C
I'm innocent
C Cadd2 A
But the weight of the world is on my shoulders
A Asus2 C
I'm innocent
Cadd2 A
But the battles started are far from over

We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night

We cary on without even realizing why

Verse:
N.C.
We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies and
ruined our streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs that threaten our lives
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsave to walk at night
C Cadd2 A
And if we try and not become so overwhelmed
C Cadd2 A
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
C Cadd2 A
Still our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today
C Cadd2 A
They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why
