[D] [Dm]
Who are you slick?
You investors in hate.
You sadams in your bushes.
You've been latins
in snakes.
You billionaire bullies.
You a globalized curse.
[Am] You put war on the masses
and then you clean out the purse.
And [Dm] that's how it's done.
War after war.
You old feudal
parasites.
You just sacrifice the poor.
You got the cutting edge weapons.
But your scam
is still the same as it's been since the Romans.
Hell, it's the patriot game.
[D]
No, that's the
war racket.
It's the war racket.
It's the war racket.
It's the war racket.
[A] You twisters
of [Dm] language.
You creeps of disguise.
You got disinformation.
It's like worms in your eyes.
You privileged bankers.
You gambler thieves.
You profit on war.
You think it's just less
money and peace.
[G]
So [Dm] that's how it's done.
Time after time.
Country after country.
Crime
after crime.
You pretend it's religion.
Like there's no one to blame for the dead and impoverished
in your little patriot game.
[Am]
Honey, that's [D] the war racket.
That's the war racket.
That's
the war racket.
That's the war racket.
You got the [Dm] world's greatest power and you team
up with thugs, make a fortune on weapons, destruction and drugs.
But your flags and
boots and uniforms, they start to all smell the same when all sides are killing in the
patriot game.
And that's how [D] it's done.
And you've got our sons in the crosshairs of horror
at the end of your guns.
And your national anthems, they start to all smell like shame
when all sides are dying [Dm] in the patriot game.
It's just the war racket.
That's just the
war racket.
It's just the war racket.
It's just the war racket.
[G]
And war [Dm] is never ever
holy.
It's just a [D] greedy man's dream.
[Am] And you two-faced [D] crusaders, both sides are obscene.
War [Dm] is not made by God.
War is just made by men who [Am] misdirect our attention.
[D] Why do thieves
do their thing?
[F] [D] And that's how it's done.
About every 30 [Am] years, [D] the rich fill their
coffers.
The poor fill with tears.
The young fill the coffins.
The old hang [A] a wreath.
[F] The
[D] politicians get [A] photographed [F] with their [D] names underneath.
[A] It's [Dm] the war racket.
