[Eb]
Now after the war, you build all the tanks and guns, you build a big plane, and you build a big bomb.
You hide behind walls, you're all done dead.
I just want you to know, I can see through your mask.
You think that I've done nothing, but hate my world.
Like a girl, I look so right, with a gun in my hand.
you try to run from the bad bullet line.
[Ab] [Eb]

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now after the war, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ you build all the tanks and guns, _ _ _ _ _ you build a big plane, _ _ _ _ _ _ and you build a big bomb. _ _ _
_ _ You hide behind walls, _ _ _ _ you're _ all done dead. _ _ _ _ _
I just want you to know, I can see through your mask. _ _ _
_ _ You think that I've done nothing, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ but hate my _ world. _
_ _ _ _ Like a girl, I look so right, _ _ _ _ _ with a gun in my hand.
_ Then _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ you try to run from the _ _ bad bullet line.
_ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ How much do I know to _ _ _ _ _ _ talk out of time? _ _ _ _
_ You may say _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ that I'm ignorant. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ But _ _ _ I'm _ _ younger than _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Jesus, and never _ an alien.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Pressing the trigger _ for _ _ _ _ _ the _ confine.
You _ _ _ _ sit back and _ watch, _ _ _ _ watch out for your heart. _ _ _
_ _ _ You shouldn't be dying, _ _ _ _ _ _ while your _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ people are _ _ in the ground.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ Let me ask you one question. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Yes or no, no.
_ _ You think that it's good. _ _ _ _ _
I think you're gonna find, _ oh yes sir. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ All the money that you made, you're gonna find back your soul. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ One day you're gonna die, _ _ _ _ _ _ and it's gonna come soon. _
_ _ _ _ _ I'll follow your [Ebm] path, _ _ yes I will. _
The [Eb] late afternoon, _ _ _ _ _ _ I won't [Ebm] wait.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And _ [Eb] _ then, _ _ _ _ _ I'll stand over your body, and make sure that today. _ _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
