Here are the lyrics and basic chords:
1st Verse [Chords - Cm, G#, G]:
There is a hard line
that sits within you
The rights gone today
you stood up for yesterday
You're now a radical
for blatantly being free
Left wing, right wing
The same indecency
Bridge [Chords - F, Eb, G#, G]:
The rot at the heart of the core
The rot at the heart of the beast
The same corruption
The same vile seed
The chill at the valley of shadows
Knock, knock, knocking at your door
The same deception
The same unfulfilled need
Chorus [Chords - Same as verse]:
Stand and stand together
Stand your ground indeed
Walk the line within you
Walk this line and see
Stand and stand together
Stand against the fear
Protect what you hold within you
Protect what you hold dear
[Break bit: G#, G, Bb, C]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
2nd Verse:
There is a deep vein
That courses in you
A flooding torrent
of iron magma
It starts at the core
of our precious mother
it ends in a mantra
to protect brother and sister
Bridge:
Every time you shuffle your feet
To sacrifice a portion
You surely trade your soul
For lies and self deceit
The line is moving closer
radical you and radical me
Compromise in fear
or stand and up the gear
[Chorus] x 2
