INTRO: G5 
 
G5 
Rightious killin' in the name of freedom 
C5 
We been down that sorry road before 
G5                                 G5 
They let us hang around a little longer than we should've 
C5                           D5 
It's too late to fool us anymore 
G5 
We've seen the ones who kill the ones with vision 
C5 
Cold blooded murder right before your eyes 
G5                                 G5 
Today they hold the power and the money and the guns 
C5                                    D5 
It's gettin' hard to listen to their lies 


C5                                G5 
And I just gotta wonder what my Daddy woulda done 
C5                                             G5 
If he'd seen the way they'd turned his dream around 
C5                      G5 
I gotta go by what he told me 
C5                                     C5 
Try to tell the truth and stand your ground 
C5                D5                G5          
Don't let the bastards get ya down  
 
(SPOKEN) 
G5 
Bombin' Bagdad back into the stone age, 'round the clock 
C5 
Non-stop for 40 days, killed 'em in their homes and on their highways 
G5 
Now after a decade of cripplin' sanctions we're talkin' about goin' back in there 
C5                                       D5 
And doin' it all over again, fightin' terrorism 
 
CHORUS 
 

G5 
(Don't let the bastards get ya down) 
C5                D5              G5 
Don't let the bastards get ya down 
G5 
(Don't let the bastards get ya down) 
C5               D5                        G5 
Don't let the bastards....get ya down
