OK, I know I'm being overly simplistic. Try telling a political prisoner being tortured that he volunteered for it and he wouldn't see the funny side.

If everyone stood together, the mothers and the fathers of the soldiers and policeman, and said enough, as they did in Tunisia,
VERSE
By word of mouth
People standing together
Were no never so tall
Look down on the big men
Make them feel small
BRIDGE
Dm Bf
There are no victims here
Bf C
Only volunteers
CHORUS
F (high)
Strike, you can strike, you should use your might, you are right
C
So, let them know, you can grow, let the people go
Bf
Rise, you're alies, you are the greater size, and the prize
F (low)
Now, this is how, you can take 'em down, with the plough
VERSE
Take old man Mugabe
Don't stand for elections
Where you know the result
They insult your intelligence
When they offer the cult
BRIDGE + CHORUS
