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