[Verse 1]
Am                         D              Am
 God is great, God is good He guards your neighborhood
Am                                D             Am
 Though it's generally understood Not quite the way you would
Am                         D              Am
 You try to take the slack Stay awake and watch His back
Am                                  D                       Am
 But something happens every now and then And someone breaks into the promised land
 
[Chorus]
Am  Am/G     D              Am
Ah, boy, boy  This world is not your toy
Am             Am/G           D             Am
 This world is long on hunger This world is short on joy

Am                 D             Am
   A - E  – I - O   You speak as if you know
Am                        D              Am
 What's good for everyone What's good in what you've done?
Am                                  D              Am
 What's good about a world in which War rages at a fever pitch?
Am                                    D                Am
 And people die for the little things A little corn, a little beans
 
[Chorus]
Am  Am/G     D              Am
Ah, boy, boy  This world is not your toy
Am             Am/G   D            Am
This world is,        this world is

G  D Am                 G  D Am
       Long on hunger,        short on joy
G  D Am                G                        E
       How much longer You gonna keep the world hungry, boy?

[Verse 3]
Am                           D            Am
 You measure peace with guns  Progress in mega-tons
Am                                D          Am
 Who's left when the war is won? Soldier of misfortune
Am                        D          Am
 Soldier of an angry call Soldier on foreign soil
Am                              D                  Am
 I'm not here to fight your war I know what you're fighting for
 
[Chorus]
Am  Am/G     D              Am
Ah, boy, boy  This world is not your toy
Am             Am/G   D            Am
This world is,        this world is
