------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is a fun song to play and works well on both an electric and an acoustic.
for electric playing, play power chords (i.e., chords without the third) all
the way through, occasionally slipping in the third (of the chord) for
embellishment... use a lot of reverb (at least) and as much distortion as you
can bear.
for acoustic playing, i just strum the chords -- in open position --
agressively with a medium pick.

i can't remember all the words, but some go like this:
A nation with their freezers full
is dancing in their seats
while outside another nation
is sleeping in the streets

The cities of Europe have burned before
