[verse: 1]
Em                         Bm                     C      
There's blood in the dust where the city's heart beats
Bm                                                C    
The children play games that they take from the streets
Em                 Bm                     C      
How can you teach when you've so much to learn

[chorus:]  {band kicks in}
          G            D             Bm            C
May you turn, may you turn, may you turn, may you turn
         G             C             Bm             C         
May you turn, may you turn in your grave______  New World

[verse: 2]
Em                               Bm       C   
There's hate in your eyes, I've seen it before
Bm                                      C
Planning destruction behind the locked door
Em                        Bm            C
Were you the coward who fired the last shot

[chorus:] {band kicks in}
         G            D           Bm            C
May you rot, may you rot, may you rot, may you rot
         G            C           Bm             C         
May you rot, may you rot in your grave______  New World

[verse: 3]
          Em                                Bm      C
There's death in the air, with lights growing dim
     Bm                                 C   
And those who survive sing a desperate hymn
Em                            Bm     C
Pray that god grants you one final request

[chorus:]
         G             D             Bm            C
May you rest, may you rest, may you rest, may you rest
         G             C            Bm             C        C   
May you rest, may you rest in your grave______  New World
