[TOMT] [SONG] the saddest song of all

Pending

I assume that is the title of the song, but the lyrics+chords are just what I heard, & I can't find the official lyrics, the title, the artist, or anything on google & youtube. Please help me find the title, artist, official lyrics, & a digital recording if possible.

Here is a beepbox approximation of the song: https://www.beepbox.co/#9n31s7kbl00e0gt1Da7g0jj0er1i0o432T5v2u50f0qwx10p511d08H-JJAArrqiih999h0E1b6T7v5u20f51562jb0s22nb2l3q0x20p41402d08H_SRJ5JIBxAAAAkh8IcE3c01c16c16T7v7u20f51562jb0s22nb2l3q0x20p41402d08H_SRJ5JIBxAAAAkh8IcE3c01c16c16T4v1uf0f0q011z6666ji8k8k3jSBKSJJAArriiiiii07JCABrzrrrrrrr00YrkqHrsrrrrjr005zrAqzrjzrrqr1jRjrqGGrrzsrsA099ijrABJJJIAzrrtirqrqjqixzsrAjrqjiqaqqysttAJqjikikrizrHtBJJAzArzrIsRCITKSS099ijrAJS____Qg99habbCAYrDzh00E0b018QlDyqLdXM018QdmlVyHGWM000000000E0000000000000000000p29bAqqf2EEjnYp42CFQqV4Qu9atyz8EGF8YlM5nhZsK3IzjhUt2q_wzOa874jnP-2ASLSnVeOhW3bY1jbMCNudLCYyLaOHGd4LOcWX0sCmOIBnbUYK8xbQQvTnFGs7qEEjnUmlBGufhYQCzVQieZdvNAmpChjAV2KzWVubFH-9VvG9E-IhN8zPif88WrOe0V4YnkcuzYXR3HASnRKMAxmhX78pKlCViCFWZ8apuLtFE-4R_s3OarnU8QQvl2q_3GOWbbarb_lXhQZd7MFGlOZt7ww9E-GOe-2wAR_ujkhV51lU1BlQRmMldJkDlImmkUcE8Z6gCzSaSKBdvVwtelkSguunUNMBsBlnBsZvvtDB-trvjiCOY7AHHWlcLn805eKnykQvtsH1lkRMttmZllj2RllTnlQSlnlkR-Df4nILOalRjogHSzVL4GqfF2giKnHEY41d7Rnvvjn9RlArd7AGRPhX5-Kho79PcKDbPcP63KMaH9-YKLaIaP0YzaP4mqf3PsIwSXcKIPsKJPbsKIQfdLsTsTCpNdvRBpKnBjqCzSmiCzMrp2CA02PhZmwxqKGOHbbIKP3FM000

(All the data are stored in the URL so it's long. Sorry.)

I know that it said not to describe music notation, but am I allowed to write chords? I did, but they are also my guesses by ear on a different instrument than the one in the song, & I'm also going deaf (which sucks as a musician) & I can't tell tone sometimes, so take the chords with a grain of salt.

(please note that I don't differentiate between major & minor on my instrument for As & Bs, so I might be wrong, & also I am telling you this by ear.)

Intro: (Bm . , F#m . , G . , D, A,)

Verse:

(D) I am a child in this (A) war torn land

(B7) living on a (G) fragile strip of sand

(D) not knowing what's (A) going on

just (Bm) hearing (G7?) guns & (G?) bombs,

(D) I was born a (A) baby no christian or (Bm) jew muslim or hindu or (G) buddhist too,

(D) my religion is an (A) accident of (Bm) birth but here there's no (G) safety no (Em) peace oh no,

Chorus:

(Bm) all we get are (F#m) bones measles and (G) guns, (G)

(Bm) no laughter no life no (F#m) having fun

(G) no woman raises no gentle son ju-

(Bm) -st death and de- (F#m) struction for every- (G) one oh,

Verse:

(Bm) there is a crater where my (F#m) home once stood,

(G) the road I knew (D) is gone for (Am) good,

(Bm) they say my mother is (F#m) buried there

(G) & my brother's hat (nc) vanished into thin air,

(Everything proceeds as you might expect.)

there's no food no shelter no water, no fuel to cook just people to slaughter, [got down by buoy to martyr??] no sign of stability or order,

all we get are bongs, basil, & guns, no laughter no light no having fun, no warm praises no gentle sun, just death & destruction for everyone,

Bridge:

children are dying before they are born, mothers are weak & hearts are torn,

babies are still with no legs or arm, others cry out with their [day creepers???], so much hate & so much fear, so much hunger year after year,

& the only thing we long for is pea[ce] & ending to war,

but all we have is no hope no light, just more of this endless pain & strife, doesn't anyone understand what we need, a chance to [leave/live] to hope to breathe,

all we get are bombs, missiles, & guns, no laughter no light no heaven fun no woman raises no gentle son, just death & destruction for every woman.

all we get are bombs, missiles, & guns, no laughter no life no having fun no woven praises no gentle sun, just death & destruction for everyone.

Ooh. This is the saddest song of all.
