Verse 1
Bbm              Eb 
This is what you chose: 
                 Bbm 
to k*ll and be enclosed. 
                 Eb 
sheltered by the news 
                           Bbm 
Because it's difficult to choose. 
                 Eb 
so let us all decide 
                Bbm 
what you should know 
                  Eb 
And stay too busy to 
                  Bbm 
keep up with the truth. 
                Eb 
how about you ignore 
                     Bbm 
the world beyond our shores, 
                      Eb 
and leave the rest to me 
                   Bm 
so you won't feel guilty. 
 
Verse 2
                   Eb 
see i'm a guy like you... 
           Bbm 
easily confused... 
                 Eb 
so i stick to my guns, 
                          Bbm 
and god tells me where to shoot... 
                     Eb 
and angels guide the bombs 
                   Bbm 
straight to guilty homes, 
                   Eb 
so when they hit a child, 
                       Bbm 
he was probably in the wrong. 
                     Eb 
to you they look the same, 
                           Bbm 
 one threat with different names, 
                        Eb 
and as long as we're at war, 
                       Bbm 
i can count on your support 
 
Verse 3
                 Eb 
So keep going to church, 
                 Bbm 
keep worshipping words, 
                    Eb 
immerse yourself in work, 
                    Bbm 
you'll get what you deserve. 
                          Eb 
put a fake smile on your face, 
                    Bbm 
and find someone to hate, 
                      Eb 
'cause they need your control, 
                     Bbm 
and they deserve the blame. 
                      Eb 
see, it's easier that way, 
                  Bbm 
you never have to feel, 
                       Eb 
and you can close your eyes 
                           Bbm 
inside your house upon the hill, 
                  Eb 
and never have to look 
                  Bbm 
into their crying eyes, 
                     Eb 
that wonder why your heart 
                           Bbm 
belongs to phantoms in the sky. 
                       Eb 
instead of your fellow man, 
                    Bbm 
who you sentence to die, 
                     Eb 
they wonder why your heart 
                           Bbm 
belongs to phantoms in the sky.

                             Eb 
instead of your brothers and sisters 
                    Bbm 
who you sentence to die, 
                     Eb 
they wonder why your heart 
                          Bbm 
belongs to phantoms in the sky
