A5         F5
The masses against the classes
C5           
I'm tired of giving a reason

when the future is all we believe in

we love the winter it brings us closer together

A5
So can you hurt us anymore
F5
Can you feel like it was before
C5
Or are you lost forevermore

Hello fond farewell my dear

I hope you hear this nice and clear
C5
Our love is unconditional
G5
Our hate is yours to feed upon

A5         F5
The masses against the classes
C5

A5                    F5
we love the winter it brings us closer together

ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
