This may not be the greatest...but taste is always subjective Song by Ron Trueman-Border... Folk Alley for the music PRISONER OF WAR Key of D Capo 2nd C G C F There are no chains about our ankles. No shackles on our hands C G/B Am Am/G F G They say we're free to wander through these God forsaken lands C G C F Ah but freedom's just a word boys it does'nt mean that much anymore C G/B Am Am/G F G C G Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war They say the times are changing but time is standing still In the ghettoes, in the killing fields the same blood's being spilled And it flows down like a river and floods the jail-house floor Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war C G C F CHORUS; Everywhere I look now from sea to shining shore C G/B Am Am/G F G C G Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war They tell us they'll move mountains all in the name of peace They say they'll strive to find a way to make all hatred cease But their lies are only whispers lost beneath the cannon's roar Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war The mother and the daughter, the father and the son Each generation lives in fear of the soldier and the gun It's the same the whole world over and shall be evermore Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war CHORUS; Pour down your bombs and missiles. Pour down you acid rain We live under their shadow now and forever must remain At the mercy of the tyrant, abiding by the mad man's laws Everyman's a prisoner, a prisoner of war
