G C G
See Thomas Jefferson, on the eve of Bunker Hill
C G Em D G
Writing words to die for, writing sentences to kill
G C G
They've come to take his portrait, so he grabs a chair and sits
Em C Em D G
As the surgeon orders cotton, for a thousand tourniquets
G C Em
For God and country, for us and them
Em C Em
Every good idea, kills at least a thousand men
C D G
At least a thousand men
