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