Verse 1:
AmYou are born into this world,
        G                    AmLooking down the barrel of a gun.
Am                     GAnd those who hold the gun,
            AmWant you to work fast and die young.
AmAnd if you don't work,
GIf you don't obey,
        AmThey'll make you live in fear 'til your dying day.
      GThose who govern hold the gun,
   AmTo your head.
     G                                     AmWith religions, corporations 'proud of the blood,
AmThey have shed.


Chorus 1:
CWhether it's God or the Bomb,
CIt's just the same.
Am                           GIt's only fear under another name.
CWhether it's God or the 'Bomb,
CIt's just the same.
Am                           GIt's only fear under another name.


Verse 2:
AmAnd the corporate snakes coming in to feed,
   G                           AmOn that pathetic fact known as human greed.
     GSkin and bone being raked over those hot coals,
     AmThis dump never seems to give time to human soul.
Am                                   GAnd if all those things that we have learnt,
G                      AmNo time for questions, you'll just get burnt.
NC       G                Am(Listen) You'll …just get burnt.


Chorus 2:
CWhether it's God or the 'Bomb,
CIt's just the same.
Am                           GIt's only fear under another name.
CWhether it's God or the 'Bomb,
CIt's just the same.
Am                           GIt's only fear under another name.

Verse 3:
AmAnd those words crush you flat,
          GLike your skull's under a brick.
    AmAnd the fear's so damn strong,
        GThat it makes you sick.
Am                                   GAnd you can see right through those eyes,
G                                 AmThat make you fear, that make you lie.
AmAnd you're taught to hold high,
        GYet you wonder why.
G    AmDumb values forced upon you by the,
G       AmLiving lie.


Chorus 3 & 4 (Repeat):
CWhether it's God or the 'Bomb,
CIt's just the same.
Am                           GIt's only fear under another name.
CWhether it's God or the 'Bomb,
CIt's just the same.
Am                           GIt's only fear under another name.


Chorus 5:
CWhether it's God or the 'Bomb,
CIt's just the same.
Am                           GIt's only fear under another name.

Notes.
1. 'Max Q', (named after Ollie's dog) consisted of Michael Hutchence (vocals and
songwriting) and Ollie Olsen (songwriting and production), who were accompanied by key members
of the post-punk scene in Melbourne, Australia; most of whom had previously collaborated 
with Olsen. The project followed on from Hutchence and Olsen's work on the film, 'Dogs in
Space', where they had first met.
2. "Ollie isn't supposed to hang around with pop stars and I'm not supposed to hang
around with punk types. The band is made up of rowdy friends from Melbourne. These guys are
good musicians who've never had a chance. Most of them have never even been in a studio. 
These are real underground people who don't have any money. Some of them have never been
on a plane before. They were worried that working with me, they'd lose their underground 
status" - Michael Hutchence (1989).
