Verse D A F#m E
That's just what they told me, "You could be a patriot"
D A F#m E
"Don’t you love your country? Don't you wanna die for it?"
D A F#m E
How could they enlist me? I was only 17
D A F#m E
It's better to be thankful than challenge their authority
[Chorus]
D A
This is how the world is
F#m E
This is how they suck you in
D A
Manipulate the broken
F#m E
To suffer every consequence
D A
They gave me a machine gun
F#m E
But I don’t wanna hurt no one
D A
There's nothing here to fight for
F#m E
This is someone else's war
[Verse 2]
D A F#m E
That's just what they told me, "Son, you could be a patriot"
D A F#m E
Defеnder of your country, protector of the innocеnt
D A F#m E
We'll beat 'em with a clenched fist by order of your government
D A F#m E
They said we were the good guys, but what if we're the terrorists?
[Chorus]
D A
This is how the world is
F#m E
This is how they suck you in
D A
Manipulate the broken
F#m E
To suffer every consequence
D A
They gave me a machine gun
F#m E
But I don’t wanna hurt no one
D A
There's nothing here to fight for
F#m E
This is someone else's war
[Instrumental Bridge]
D A F#m E
[Chorus]
D A
This is how the world is
F#m E
This is how they suck you in
D A
Manipulate the broken
F#m E
To suffer every consequence
D A
I'm only a statistic
F#m E
And no one even gives a shit
D A
The treatment for my shell shock (Yeah, yeah)
F#m E
Yeah, they won’t even pay for it
D A
I fired that machine gun
F#m E
I never meant to hurt no one
D A
And as my friends and foes bleed
F#m E
We satisfy a rich man's greed
[Outro]
D A
Maybe I don't know a damn thing
F#m E
I've never been through anything
D A
This is all I can be
F#m E
A voice for someone else’s grief
D
He fired that machine gun
N.C.
She never meant to hurt no one
N.C.
'Cause once you leave a headstone
N.C.
You never really make it home
