Capo on 1st

           F5
They used dogs on me
            C5
They used blindfolds
        Bb5                  F5
They embarrassed me in the nude
            F5                 C5
They gave shocks to me with electrodes
         Bb5             F5
They deprived me of my food

       Bb5                   F5
They paraded me round the prison
  Bb5                 A5
Chained up to other men
         Bb5
And with every task,
      F5            D5
One question they asked
Bb5                C5
Over and over and over again, they said...

Bb5                       C5
"Aren't you the suicide bomber
     Bb5          F5        C5
Who blew up the bus last year?"
        Bb5               C5
I say, "No," they say, "Yes,"
                F5                 D5
I say, "You're not thinking it through,"
          Bb5                           C5             C5
But they went off and thought up some new things to doooooo

So they soaked me with cold water
And they left me there overnight
They put outlandish costumes upon me
And took photographs of my plight

They accused me of brutal behaviour
Whilst they kicked me in the balls
And with every task,
One question they asked
Echoing off of the cold prison walls, they said...

"Aren't you the suicide bomber
Who blew up the bus last year?"
I said, "No," they punched me,
I said, "Think logically,"
And they said, "You think logically!"
And I said, "What?"

(Interlude: F5 , C5 , Bb5 , F. F5 , C5 , Bb5 , F.)

 Bb5            F5
Psychological torture
      Bb5                        A5
Has cleared things right up for me
        Bb5
There's one thing I know,
       F5         D5
When they let me go,
  Bb5                         C5
I will be the man that they want me to be

     Bb5                   C5
Yes, I'll be the suicide bomber
      Bb5        F5       C5
I'll blow up a bus one day
    Bb5          C5
And so will my son
         F5         D5
And his son after that
     Bb5             C5
And then some poor new guy
      F5           D5
Will sit where I sat
     Bb5         C5              F5         D5
And he will be forced to wear poo for a hat
    F5          C5       F5
And so on and so ever forth,
  F5
Amen
