Tonart: G minor•
Verse 1
Gm
Lately these days I get so paranoid
Cm
Gm
Heard so many stories of
families broken
Adim
Fathers being divided
F
Gm
Eb
F
All for this war that no one really wants
too many headstones
Bb
F
Too many dying to count
Gm
And if we could today
we'd bring them all back home
But they'll never listen,
these politicians,
Adim
their hearts have turned to stone
F
Gm
And if we had a voice,
Bb
Eb
then by God we'd be heard
Gm
But we're so divided,
and we're undecided,
Eb
F
so we never say a word
Gm
And we all go to sleep,
like good little sheep, never make a peak
So I'm taking a stand,
and I'm making demands
Bb
Gm
And I'll stand even if I
have to stand alone
And say bring the troops back home
F
Gm
F
Gm
F
Gm
F
Eb
Gm
But all of the beauty to be
Gm
What would you want to
Gm
But all of the wonders to
Gm
But all of the things that
F
you could be in this world
Gm
F
What would you go and be a soldier man?
Gm
F
Gm
Bb
F
Oh I, oh I, I think I know why
Ebdim
Cause when you were
F
you put a toy gun in your hand
Gm
Bb
And they showed you shows of G .I. Joes,
F
how could you understand
Gm
The difference between
Bb
F
fiction and reality
Gm
Oh if your parents knew how it impacted you,
F
they would've burned the TV
Dm
Gm
But they were too busy,
Cm
F
working for demand
Gm
And they were too busy,
Cm
F
just drifting into the plans
Gm
So when you were six years old,
F
they put you in the boy scouts
So harmless,
Gm
it seemed to be marching
Gm
But they already got you
F
wearing that uniform on your back
Gm
Using weapons, earning medals,
F
gaining rank in your pack
Gm
Yeah it's the symbolism,
Cm
F
that keeps you coming back
Cm
F
Into the subconscious they tap
Gm
Boy, it's the symbolism
Bb
F
Keep you slippin' through the cracks
Gm
Yeah, it's the symbolism
Cm
F
Got your mind under attack
Cm
But you put on your thinking cap
Dm
Don't get caught up in that trap, no
Gm
Bb
F
With all of the creativity in this world
Gm
F
Why would you create nuclear weapons?
Gm
With all of the wonders you
Gm
What would you want to
Gm
With all of the billion things
Gm
F
Why would you go and be a soldier man?
Gm
Cm
F
Oh, why?
Gm
Bb
I'm starting to see why
F
Eb
Gm
Because when you were 13 years old
Gm
The high school version of
Bb
F
your immersion in the military
Gm
They got you dreaming of that
Gm
Bb
Aerobically killing enemies for democracy
F
In a vormen land war against
Bb
F
That keeps you killing blindly
Dm
Gm
Gov ernment mind control
Cm
F
Been going on for centuries
Cm
Gm
So when you were 18 years old
F
The recruiters came to your school
Gm
With fancy dress and propaganda
Bb
F
trying to make you their fool
Gm
Telling you you're never
F
gonna amount to anything
Gm
But look at all the rewards and benefits
Bb
F
Un cle Sam can bring
Gm
So sign on the dotted line
F
The officer says with a grin
Gm
Sign your name on the dotted line
Bb
F
Trust in us we'll take you in
Gm
Just pick up your pen and sign
Cm
F
We'll take care of everything
Gm
Sign your name on the dotted line
Cm
F
And your bright future can begin
Cm
But can you hear the bugle play,
Dm
Gm
Em

Give me one good reason,
Bb

orphans an d babies crying
Dm

In the name of freedom,
Cm
what a false pretense

Dm
all the songs that you devour

Holding the fingers of Matthew

Some soldier man,
Cm
F
I'm begging you come back home
Oh military man,
Gm

leave them war machines alone
Gm
sit in their mansion
Cm

reaping all their benefits

While you die dying in the trenches

Bb
Gm
But how about you?

Do you buy into the news?
Gm
Have they got you so confused?
