[D] when you think
that [C#] you've heard [F#m] it before, how governments lie to their people, [C#] [D] and nations are [C#] driven [F#m] to war.
[C#]
[D] There are shadows [C#] [F#m] on the faces [C#] [D] of the men [C#] who [F#m] fanned the flames.
[C#] [D] To those wars [C#] in [A] foreign places, [C#]
[E] we can't even remember [C#] their names.
[F#m] On the radio, talk shows and TV, [C#] [D] you hear one [C#] thing [F#m] again and again, how the USA stands
for freedom, [C#] [D] and how we come to the [C#] aid of [F#m] a friend.
But who are these ones we call our [C#] friends?
[D] These governments [C#] [F#m] killing their own, or is it the ones who can't take [C#] anymore, [D] so they
pick up a brick, [C#] or a gun, or a stone.
[F#m] There are lives in the balance, people under fire, children at the cannons, [C#]
[D] and there

[D] is
blood on the wire.

[D] to those wars in [C#] [A] foreign places, [C#] [E] where
their business [C#] interests run.
[F#m] I want to know who these men in the shadows are, [C#] I [D] want to hear somebody [C#] [F#m] asking them why,
[C#] they [F#m] can be counted on to tell us who our enemies [C#] are, [D] but they're never around, [C#] fight or die.
