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