Verse
A#m Eb
This is what you chose:
A#m
to kill and be enclosed.
Eb
sheltered by the news
A#m
Because it's difficult to choose.
Eb
so let us all decide
A#m
what you should know
Eb
And stay too busy to
A#m
keep up with the truth.
Eb
how about you ignore
A#m
the world beyond our shores,
Eb
and leave the rest to me
Bm
so you won't feel guilty.
[Verse 2]
Eb
see i'm a guy like you...
A#m
easily confused...
Eb
so i stick to my guns,
A#m
and god tells me where to shoot...
Eb
and angels guide the bombs
A#m
straight to guilty homes,
Eb
so when they hit a child,
A#m
he was probably in the wrong.
Eb
to you they look the same,
A#m
one threat with different names,
Eb
and as long as we're at war,
A#m
i can count on your support
[Verse 3]
Eb
So keep going to church,
A#m
keep worshipping words,
Eb
immerse yourself in work,
A#m
you'll get what you deserve.
Eb
put a fake smile on your face,
A#m
and find someone to hate,
Eb
'cause they need your control,
A#m
and they deserve the blame.
Eb
see, it's easier that way,
A#m
you never have to feel,
Eb
and you can close your eyes
A#m
inside your house upon the hill,
Eb
and never have to look
A#m
into their crying eyes,
Eb
that wonder why your heart
A#m
belongs to phantoms in the sky.
Eb
instead of your fellow man,
A#m
who you sentence to die,
Eb
they wonder why your heart
A#m
belongs to phantoms in the sky.
[Outro]
Eb
instead of your brothers and sisters
A#m
who you sentence to die,
Eb
they wonder why your heart
A#m
belongs to phantoms in the sky
