intro:E,B
E
Where are the ones who carry their guns
       B
To the far away lands with the blackened suns
         C#
From the smoke and narrow minds
    Asus2                 B
The half-truth trails and holy lies
      E
Of an empty heart and overflowing mouth
  B
A plastic smile and a coward’s frown
C#
Repercussions come around
         Asus2                 B                 E
When the word named free burns to the ground somehow
-
E
Where are the deaf and where are the dumb
         B
From the side of the tracks
    
Where no reason comes from
        C#
And the tables never bare
    Asus2                 B
The water runs and mamas always there
        E
So who separates the world from the start
           B
Where such words would come and such thoughts would cause
  C#
A shot heard round the world
   Asus2             B
Or just as sad never heard at all
-
   E                       B
So down, down, down like a ball of flames
       Asus2               C#                Asus2
To the rotten core filling up with names of hypocrites.
       C#
What a massive list
G#                A
Don’t exclude yourself from it
      E                B
Don’t compromise administration lies
Asus2                   C#
Carried out and covered up with time
Asus2                   C#
Carried out and turned around to shine
   G#                    A
Or high on a pedestal of broken lives
-
   E
Compassion speaks loud for itself
         B
Falls on broken ears and off the value shelf
         C#                      
Into the dirt left to the wind
Asus2                 B
Comin up strong ready to begin
   E
To obliterate the word from the start
            B
Where such ideas come and such ideas cause
  C#
A spark that’ll set a blaze
              Asus2                B
And leave the embers red until the end of days
-
   E                       B
So down, down, down like a ball of flames
       Asus2               C#                Asus2
To the rotten core filling up with names of hypocrites.
