Intro 1
(A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
(D minor) (A minor) (Asus2)
(A minor) Who am I
Verse 1
(A minor)
to say what's right (D minor) or wrong (Asus2)
(A minor) But who are you to pull the trigger on
their (D minor) enemy (A minor) (Asus2) (A minor)
Young man joined the front lines to
still (D minor) his stormy (Asus4) soul (Asus2)
(A minor) Now all that's left are the
(D minor) memories (Asus2) of old
(A minor) They all fall down (D minor)
(A minor) Some won't (D minor) sur vive (A minor)
(D minor) Trying (A minor) to (D minor) escape (A minor)
The memory of what they became
I tried hard to be proud of my service
But, all I could feel was Shame (D minor)
The racism could (A minor) no longer mask
The reality of the occupation
These were people
These were human beings
I feel guilt any time I see a
(D minor) mother with her children
Like the (A major) one who cried (Asus4) hysterically
(A major) And screamed (Asus4) that (A minor) we were
worse than Saddam
As (D minor) we forced (A minor) her from her home
I feel guilt any time I see a (Asus4) young girl (D minor)
Like (A minor) the one I grabbed
by the arm
And dragged into the street (Asus4) (D minor)
(A minor) We were told we were
fighting terrorists
(Asus4) The real terrorist was (D minor) me
(A minor) An d the real terrorism
was this occupation
Who am I to say what's right (D minor)
or wrong (A minor) (Asus2) (A minor)
But who are you to pull the trigger on
their (D minor) en emy (Asus2) (Asus4)
(A minor) Young man joined the front lines
to still (D minor) (A minor) his stormy (D minor) (A minor) soul
Now all that's left are the
(D minor) memories of (A minor) war
They all (Asus4) (D minor) fall (A minor) down
Some (Asus4) won't (A minor) survive
(Asus4) Trying (A minor) (Asus4) to (A minor) escape the
memories of what they became
They all (Asus4) (D minor) fall (A minor) down
Some (Asus4) won't survive (A minor)
(Asus4) Trying (A minor) to escape the memories
of (D minor) what they (A minor) became
While those weapons are created
and owned by this government
They are harmless without people
willing to use them
(D minor) Those who send us to war
Do not have to pull a trigger (A minor) or
lob a mortar round
They do not have to fight the war
They merely have to
sell the war
They need a public whose willing to send their soldiers
in (D minor) to harms way
They need soldiers willing to kill and
be (A major) killed without (A minor) ques tion
Soldiers, Sail (D minor) ors, Marines, Airmen
(A minor) Have nothing to gain from this (D minor) occu pation
(A minor) The vast majority of (D minor) people living
in the U.S.
(A minor) Have nothing to gain from this
occupation
In fact not only do (A minor) we have
nothing to (D minor) gain
(A minor) But we suffer more because of it
We lose (A minor) limb s
Endure trauma
(D minor) And give our lives
(A minor) Our families have to watch flag
draped coffins lowered into the earth
