D * D * Eastern world, it is explodin', violence flarin', bullets loadin', D * You're old enough to kill, but not for smokin', D * You say you're against war, but's what's that gun you're totin'? D * And in the desert there are bodies floatin' D G A D Bm But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend, Gm6 Gdim D * Ah, you don't believe we were on the Eve of Destruction. D * D * My blood's so mad feels like coagulatin', I'm sittin' here just contemplatin' D * This whole darn world is just too frustrating, D * when the President's son is signing legislation D * That was written by the unchanging administration. D G A D Bm Ah but you tell me, over and over and over again my friend, Gm6 Gdim D * That you believed there were Weapons of Mass Destruction. D * Think of all the hatred they preach for our nation, D * then take a look at what we've done to immigration D * You can go to the UN for 'legitimation', D * but in the end you just make an ultimatium. D * The pounding drums, the pride and disgrace, D * you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace, D * Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace. D G A D Bm And you tell me, over and over and over again my friend, Gmin6 Gdim * That you don't believe they were weapons of mass distraction. |
