Intro: E5
C5
You've got the mouth of a she wolf
A5
Inside the mask of an innocent lamb
E5
You say your heart is all compassion
D5 G5
But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram
A5 C5
Yet you always made a profit baby
E5
If it was a famine or a feast
C5
Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,
A5
I was cursed with x-ray vision,
E5
I could see right through all the lies you told,
D5 G5
When you smiled for the television
A5 C5
And you can see the coming battle
E5
You pray the drums will never cease
A5 C5
And you may win this war that's coming
E5
But would you tolerate the peace?

OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
D5
Investing in munitions

And those little cotton flags

Invest in wooden caskets
A5 G5 E5
In guns and body bags, guns and body bags

Your daddy was a businessman
A5
And it always made good sense

In dollars, pounds and cents

In the temple that was Mammon's

A5 G5 E5
And the whole world's destruction
G5 E5
I imagine there's a future
G5 E5
When all the earthly wars are over
G5 E5
You may find yourself just standing there
G5 E5
On the white cliffs of Dover
G5 E5
You may ask, what does it profit a man
G5 E5
To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
G5 E5
Is that your body you see on the rocks below
G5 E5
As the tide begins to roll?
A5 C5
And you invested in this prison
E5
From which you never got released
A5 C5
You may have won this war we're fighting
