 You tell us that we're wrong
A5           G5               A5   G5
 You tell us not to sing our songs
A5              G5                 A5  E5
 Nothing we can say will make you see
A5                     E5                   A5  E5
 You've got a heart of stone, you can never feel
          A5           G5                         A5 E5
You say, "Oh, I'm not afraid, it can't happen to me
A5              E5        A5            E5
 I believe that life is a good thing (?)
   A5                     G5                        A5  E5
Oh no, you're out of your mind, it won't happen to me
F5                       G5                      F5           G5
 'Cause I've carried my weight and I've been a strong man"
A5                  G5                 A5    G5
Oh, I listen to the man in the liquor store
A5                 G5                A5   G5
(?) Anybody want a drink before the war?
A5 G5 A5

A5    G5                A5      G5
 Your parents paid you through
A5                     G5                    A5  G5
 You've got a nice big car, nothing bothers you
A5                     G5                   A5  E5
 Somebody cut out your eyes, you refuse to see
A5                        E5                   A5   E5
Ah, somebody cut out your heart, you refuse to feel
F5                  G5     F5                    G5
 And you live in a shell, you create your own hell
F5                G5                   A5  G5
 You live in the past and talk about war
F5                     G5
 And you dig your own grave, yeah
F5                           G5
 When it's a life you could save
F5                 G5                    A5     G5
 So stop with the past, it's not gonna happen
        A5                   G5           
And you cry but you'll never fall
      A5                    G5
No no no, you're building a wall
A5               G5           A5    E5
 Got to break it down, start again
A5            E5                     A5  E5
 You say, "oh no, it won't happen to us"
A5               E5                 A5        E5
 We've lived our lives basically in goodness"
F5                   G5                         F5            G5
 So stop talking of war 'cause you know we've heard it all before
F5                     G5                      A5     G5
 Why don't you go out there and do something useful?
A5                       G5                 A5    G5
Oh, I've listened to the man in the liquor store
A5                 G5                A5   G5
(?) Anybody want a drink before the war?
A5              G5                A5  E5
 Anybody want a drink before the war
A5                 E5               A5   E5
Ah, anybody want a drink before the war?
A5    G5       A5 G5
Yeah, yeah...
