[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
This isn't for the ones who blindly follow
Jingoistic bumper stickers telling you
To love it or leave it
And you'd better love Jesus
[D] And get out of [G] the way of the red, white, and [D] blue
[G] [C]
[D] [G] [C] [G]
[D] This isn't for the ones [G] who buy their six-packs
[D] At 7 [G]-Eleven where [C] the clerk [G] makes change
[D] Whose accent makes clear
[C] He sure ain't [G] from here
They [D] call him a [G] camel jockey [A] instead of [G] his name
[Am] No, this is for the ones who stand their ground
[C] When the mines in the sand [G] get [D] deeper
[Am] When the whole world seems to be upside down
[C] And shots being taken [G] get [D] cheaper, [Am] cheaper
[C]
[D] This isn't for the ones [G] who would gladly swallow
[D] Everything [G] their leader [C] would have [G] them know
[D] Bowing [G] and kissing while [C] truth [G] goes missing
[D] Bringing on [G] heat crows, putting [C] on his [G] big show
[D] This isn't [G] for the man [C] who can't count [G] bodies
[D] Can't comfort [G] families, [C] can't say when [G] he's wrong
[D] I'm a [G] decider, [C] like some sort of [G] messiah
[D] While another [G] day passes [C] and a hundred [G] souls gone
[Am] No, this is for the ones who stand their ground
[C] When the mines in the sand [G] get [D] deeper
[Am] When the whole world seems to be upside down
[C] And shots being taken [G] get [D] cheaper, [Am] cheaper
[D] [G]
[C] [G] [D] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G] [D] [G]
[C] [G] [Dm] This is for the ones [F] that I see above [D] me
Three [G] little stars [C] in a great [G] big sky
[Dm] Life for the world [F] and hope for the weary [C] They try
[D] This isn't [G] for the ones with their radio signal
[D] Calling [G] for bonfires and boycotts
They're [D] exhorting [G] their listeners
To spit on the sinners
[D] While counting [G] the bucks of advertising
They'll say, [D] this isn't [G] for you
And [C] you know who [G] you are
So [D] just do what [G] you want
Cause [C] I know that [G] you can
[D] But I gotta [G] be true to [C] myself [G] and to you
[D] So on [G] with the song, [C] I don't give a [D] damn
[G] [D] [G]
[C] [G] [D] [G]
