There's (D major) something in the water,
something (G major) sick in the blood and the oil (D major)

Don't be scared (G major) by the stares of

Well, if freedom (G major) isn't free,
all the bills must just be lost in the mail
And the (D major) highways are on fire and the

(D major) Oh, and we can (A major) feel God taking (G major) his eyes off us,
we were born (E major) for American (G major) soil
