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