[Em]
[E] Well, I'll never forget
We wrote this song back when we were living on campus down at the University of Illinois in Champaign
And I remember the day [Em] I had the television on as I watched that [E] last Marine helicopter as it lifted off over Saigon
[Em] And that was pretty much the end of the Vietnam War
[E] And I remember thinking [E] to myself back then that this is it this war
We [Em] lost over 50,000 young men and women
Hundreds [D] of thousands of young men and women were injured
[Em] There's people living on the streets today who fought in Vietnam and did not have a home to live in
And I remember thinking that war is over man.
We have proven the war does not work
So here we are in the 21st century.
We got soldiers brave young men and women overseas
Fighting for our freedom so that we can be here tonight rocking and rolling
God love every one of them
So we sing this song tonight
With the hope that war will end
[Em] When this one's over and that all our brothers and sisters will come back alive and we can get down to the business
But taking care of the problems right here at home and turn our own country back into the [E] golden country

[Em] With all [F#m] of your money [G] your poor can [F#m] be fed
[Em] You [F#m] start around [G] and you're filled with [F#m] disaster
[Em] Never [F#m] really care [G] and just what [F#m] comes after
[Em] Your back's a dying [G] but your back is [F#m] still turned
[Em] And your freaks [F#m] are crying
[G] But your back is still [F#m] turned
[E] They don't stop you [F#m] hiding [G] or your country will [F#m] burn
[F#] [C#]
