G Em Just like Hitler and Stalin, C G He can’t live forever, G Bm D He can’t live forever it’s true, G Bm Some fine sunny day, C G He won’t be in the way, G D G Of a happy world for me and you, D Em I know that it sure is a struggle, D Em I know that so many have died, C D But the few who survive, Bm C Will have all the more drive, C D G To make sure it won’t happen again, Pinochet, Mussolini, Did not live forever, Did not live forever I know, Whether time or a shot, Put an end to their plot, In the end it’s the same kind of show, But it’s hard when the bombs are a falling, And it’s hard when you can’t pay for food, But hold tight to the dream, That the future will gleam, And the past will fade into the blue, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot, Did not live forever, Did not live forever I say, If you rule with the sword, Then that secret chord, Will play at the end of your day, I know that it seems all is broken, And the White House a crumbling mess, But freedom it lies, In our hearts and our eyes, And while there is hope, we are blessed
