Intro: A D
      [riff 1]
 
Verse:
A                       D
Don't wanna be a martyr in this war 
A                       D         A
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore 
E
That everything's a threat
D                                 A      D
And it's only gonna get worse if we let it 
 
A                                  D
Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got 
A                                D
Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not 
E
Though the politician and the priest 
D
Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it 
 
Chorus:
A          F#m    D     [riff 2]
Freedom is seldom found
A          F#m            D     [riff 2]
By beating someone to the ground 
A            F#m            D               [riff 1]
Telling them how everything is gonna be now, yeah 
 
Verse:
Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
Somebody busted up into your house telling you to stay still
While the leaders will deny defeat
Innocents they testify by dying in the street
 
Chorus:
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
 
Chorus:
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
