[Intro]
Em Em D A Em Em Em Em D A
[Verse 1]
Em D A
You might be a young man with the mountain in his step
Em D A
In search of El Dorado, but you haven't found it yet
Em D A
Or you might be an old man with his whole life at his back
Em D
And you can hear eternity whispering down the track
Em D A
Or maybe you're a woman, or just about to be
Em D A
And you can feel the generations swimming in your sea
Em D A
But you know that it's coming, as surely as the dawn
Em
The battle for the future, baby, which side are you on?
[Chorus]
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Come on come on come on
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Which side are you on?
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Battle lines are drawn
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m D E
Which side - which side are you on?
[Bridge]
D D
(Which side?) (Which side?)
The corporations attacking The natural world - drilling and fracking
D A
(Which side?) (Which side?)
All done with the backing Of the craven and corrupt
D D
(Which side?) (Which side?)
Or the ones who fight For the Earth with all their might
D
(Which side?)
And in the name of all that's right
B G Em Em D A
Confront and disrupt
[Verse 2]
Em D A
There's a restlessness out in the street there's a question in the air
Em D A
How long if this theft goes on will our country still be here?
Em D A
People know the game is rigged even as they play
Em D
They see their expectations slowly slip away
Em D A
They've got subsidies for billionaires, there's a bailout for the banks
Em D A
A monopoly on medicine, and a sale on armored tanks
Em D A
The whole damned country's being sold - out that revolving door
Em
Between Washington and Wall Street like it's one big Dollar Store
[Chorus]
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Come on come on come on
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Which side are you on?
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Battle lines are drawn
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m D E
Which side - which side are you on?
[Bridge]
D D
(Which side?) (Which side?)
The bankers and their special friends Who rob you time and again
D A
(Which side?)
Who like to pretend they're the only game in town
D D
(Which side?) (Which side?)
Or the people who Hope with everything they do
D
(Which side?)
They can build something new
B G Em
And turn this world around
E
[Verse 3]
Em D A
Who owns the elections? Who profits either way?
Em D A
Who ends up with all that money politicians pay?
Em D A
To be the fearless leader, to put themselves across
Em D A
To be the one entrusted with the profit and the loss
Em D A
You try hard to believe that when you cast your vote it counts
Em D A
But elections are won with money in ever larger amounts
Em D A
Take the money out of politics and maybe we might see
Em
This country turn back into something more like democracy
[Chorus]
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Come on come on come on
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Which side are you on?
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m A
Battle lines are drawn
C#m A
Come on come on come on if you're coming
C#m D E
Which side - which side are you on?
