Intro:  B  C#  Ebm  x4

                    A  A2  D  B
The US forces give the nod
                         A  A2  D  B
It's a setback for your country
                        A  A2  D  B
Bombs and trenches all in rows
                              A  A2  D  B
Bombs and threats still ask for more

                 A  A2  D  B
Divided world the CIA
                     A  A2  D  B
Say who control the issue
                           A  A2  D  B
You leave us with no time to talk
                           A  A2  D  B
You can write your own assessment (ma ma ma ma ...)


Chorus

A
Sing me songs of no denying
Am
Seems to me too many trying
C             Bm      E4   E
Waiting for the next big thing

                          A  A2  D  B
Will you know it when you see it
                        A  A2  D  B
High risk children dogs of war
     F#
Now market movements call the shots
F#m
Business deals in parking lots
Am              F          G
Waiting for the meat of tomorrow

      A  A2  D B                  x2


Chant:

Everyone is too stoned to start emission

People too scared to go to prison

We're unable to make decisions
A                            C#
Politicians party line don't cross that floor

F#
L. Ron Hubbard can't save your life
F#m
Superboy takes a plutonium wife
Am                F       C       E
In the shadows of Ban the Bomb we live

We're waiting ...
