Verse
Am D
This is what you chose:
Am
to kill and be enclosed.
D
sheltered by the news
Am
Because it's difficult to choose.
D
so let us all decide
Am
what you should know
D
And stay too busy to
Am
keep up with the truth.
D
how about you ignore
Am
the world beyond our shores,
D
and leave the rest to me
A#m
so you won't feel guilty.
[Verse 2]
D
see i'm a guy like you...
Am
easily confused...
D
so i stick to my guns,
Am
and god tells me where to shoot...
D
and angels guide the bombs
Am
straight to guilty homes,
D
so when they hit a child,
Am
he was probably in the wrong.
D
to you they look the same,
Am
one threat with different names,
D
and as long as we're at war,
Am
i can count on your support
[Verse 3]
D
So keep going to church,
Am
keep worshipping words,
D
immerse yourself in work,
Am
you'll get what you deserve.
D
put a fake smile on your face,
Am
and find someone to hate,
D
'cause they need your control,
Am
and they deserve the blame.
D
see, it's easier that way,
Am
you never have to feel,
D
and you can close your eyes
Am
inside your house upon the hill,
D
and never have to look
Am
into their crying eyes,
D
that wonder why your heart
Am
belongs to phantoms in the sky.
D
instead of your fellow man,
Am
who you sentence to die,
D
they wonder why your heart
Am
belongs to phantoms in the sky.
[Outro]
D
instead of your brothers and sisters
Am
who you sentence to die,
D
they wonder why your heart
Am
belongs to phantoms in the sky
