 -> Music Order:
 I wouldn’t  wanna be a kid in Africa
 Where the sun  has never shown
 For the child  soldiers soldiering  all day long
Never  knew the joys of being  a kid
 Just a slit  in the arm and a forced drug fix
 Then it’s off  with a gun to the torture,  murder, death
 And as I walk  these modern  streets  looking  into  the future
 Yeah as I walk  these modern  streets  looking  into  the future
Well  now I wouldn’t wanna be  a kid in the USA
 Where the kids  are disposable
 You’re just a number  on the docket of the selective  service roll
 Wouldn’t wanna be  a kid in one of many  lands
Working  in a factory, a field, a mine
 A sweatshop  worker on  the production line
 And as I walk  these modern  streets  looking  into  the future
 Yeah as I walk  these modern  streets  looking  into  the future
What  will it take to end the massacre?
What  will it take to end the massacre?
What  will it take to end the massacre?
What  will it take to end the massacre?
Well  now I wouldn’t wanna be  a kid in the modern  world
 Neurotic,  full of fear, no control
Hungry,  empty, feeling  worn and old
 Unable  to make sense of the heads  of state
 Unable  to make sense of the wars they wage
Feeling  every second that I live  I go closer to the grave
I  need to know
What  will it take  oh  no
What  will it take  oh  no
 ENDING
(1,  2, 3, 4!)
What  will it take to end the massacre?
What  will it take to end the massacre?
What  will it take to end the massacre?
What  will it take to end the massacre?

-> Music Order:

I [C]wouldn’t wanna be a kid in [G]Africa
Where the [F]sun has never shown
For the [C]child soldiers soldi[G]ering all day [F]long
[C]Never knew the joys of [G]being a kid
Just a s[F]lit in the arm and a forced drug fix
Then it’s [C]off with a gun to the [G]torture, murder, [F]death

And as I [Am]walk these [B]modern s[C]treets look[D]ing in[G]to the fu[C]ture[F]
Yeah as I [Am]walk these [B]modern s[C]treets look[D]ing in[G]to the fu[C]ture[F]

[F]Well now I wouldn’t wanna [C]be a kid in the [G]USA
Where the [F]kids are disposable
You’re just a [C]number on the docket of the [G]selective service [F]roll
Wouldn’t wanna [C]be a kid in one of [G]many lands
[F]Working in a factory, a field, a mine
A [C]sweatshop worker [G]on the production [F]line

And as I [Am]walk these [B]modern s[C]treets look[D]ing in[G]to the fu[C]ture[F]
Yeah as I [Am]walk these [B]modern s[C]treets look[D]ing in[G]to the fu[C]ture[F]

[F]What will it [Am]take [G]to [C]end [G]the [F]massacre?
[F]What will it [Am]take [G]to [C]end [G]the [F]massacre?
[F]What will it [Am]take [G]to [C]end [G]the [F]massacre?
[F]What will it [Am]take [G]to [C]end [G]the [F]massacre?

[F]Well now I wouldn’t wanna [C]be a kid in the [G]modern world
Neu[F]rotic, full of fear, no control
[C]Hungry, empty, [G]feeling worn and [F]old
U[C]nable to make sense of the [G]heads of state
U[F]nable to make sense of the wars they wage
[C]Feeling every second that I [G]live I go closer to the [F]grave
[F]I need to know

[F]What will it [C]tak[G]e oh[F] no
[F]What will it [C]tak[G]e oh[F] no [F]

ENDING
[F](1, 2, 3, 4!)

[F]What will it [C]take [B]to [A]end [G]the [F]massacre?
[F]What will it [C]take [B]to [A]end [G]the [F]massacre?
[F]What will it [C]take [B]to [A]end [G]the [F]massacre?
[F]What will it [C]take [B]to [A]end [G]the [F]massacre? [F]
