Verse 1
D 
What kind of logic?
Em 
What kind of brain?
A 
What manner of man
G 
would think of a soul?
D 
Bm 
What kind of soul and
Em 
what heart could be
A 
Would choose to kill millions
G 
D 
and call that honorable peace
Now your father has told you,
G 
son you're naive
A 
To still be out looking
G 
for someone you can believe
D 
The realities of power
G 
are above your ideals
A 
And it surely has good reason
G 
D 
for the way that it leads
But some men never hesitate
G 
to do violent deeds
A 
To ravage this earth
G 
and take more than they need
D 
Can there be any doubt
G 
to the size of our crimes
A 
After all that we've seen
G 
D 
within our own time
Oh, but what kind of logic,
Em 
and what kind of brain
A 
What manner of man
G 
D 
would think it was sane?
Bm 
What kind of soul,
Em 
and what heart that beat
A 
Would choose to kill millions
G 
D 
and call that our glory?
There are those who will argue,
G 
it's all too complex
A 
He must live past the present
G 
D 
to see its effects
There's every peasant in the field
G 
hearing those planes in the sky
A 
Waited on history to tell him
G 
D 
it was his turn to die
No, I'm sorry that you have to hear
G 
these words tonight
A 
They're not pleasant to sing,
G 
they're not so pleasant to write
D 
I know the tide of protest
G 
has passed us somehow
A 
Oh, but when do you speak out
G 
D 
if you do not speak out now?
Tell me, what kind of logic
Em 
and what kind of brain
A 
What manner of man
G 
D 
would think it the same?
Bm 
And what kind of soul,
Em 
in what heart that beats
A 
Would choose to kill millions
G 
D 
and call that honor role a piece?
I'd never be one to call
G 
an other one out
A 
Unless I  was certain
G 
about what I was talking about
D 
On what ground is the honor
G 
the way you claim to stand
A 
And who financed the power
G 
D 
that's been placed in your hand
But there's another story
G 
that history will tell
A 
Of the people who discern
G 
and learn the truth well
D 
Who find no dissonance
G 
in changing what is wrong
A 
When they know they have been lied
G 
to just a little too long
D 
Tell me what kind of logic
Em 
and what kind of brain
A 
What manner of man would
G 
D 
forgive or save
Bm 
What kind of soul and
Em 
what heart to beat
A 
Would you choose to kill millions
G 
D 
and call that honorable peace?
