Society`s Freedom
By Carinda Christie.
The Am C G change timing from verse to chorus.
Am C G repeated over and over
Stand Back back x 4
*As we struggle from day to day
the awareness of life seems to slip away
our life`s been hard no giving to us
just a gov`t of greed and people so tough
if we could hold our hands to better day`s
I know i wouldn`t stand in the way
stand back back
Forgiving isn`t anyone`s best suit
in a society of mute
that`s what this is it`s one big grab
hold on it`s the ride you never had
Stand Back Back
(society`s freedom x 2)
Dm Fmaj7th C x 4
Am C G x 4 stop

I`ve always wondered how man survives
destroying his own land and skies.

(stand back back
tell me what your made of
stand back back
show me what your made of) x 2
