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

Freedom is seldom found
A          F#m            D     [riff 2]
By beating someone to the ground

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
