Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am][Dm][Am][Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
[Dm]This shell of bloody [Am]treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
[Dm]For the love of living death

[Verse 2]
The [Am]killer's breed or the demon's seed
The [F]glamour, the fortune,
[Dm]the [Am]pain[C][G]
Go to [Am]war again,
blood is freedom's stain
Don't [F]you pray for my soul
[G]any[Am] more
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[E]
[Am]Two minutes to m[C]id[G]night
[Dm]The hands that t[F]hreaten [G]doom
[Am]Two minutes to m[C]id[G]night
To [Dm]kill the unborn in [F]the womb[G]
[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 4]
The [Am]blind men shout,
"Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers"
Napalm screams of human flames
For a prime time Belsen feast, yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut
[Dm]their meat and lick the gravy
[Am]We oil the jaws of the war machine
[Dm]and feed it with our babies

[Verse 5]
The [Am]killer's breed or the
demon's seed
[F]The glamour, the for[Dm]tune, [C]the pain[G]
Go to [Am]war again,
blood is freedom's stain
Don't [F]you pray for my
[Dm]soul [Am]any m[Em]ore[E]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Two minutes [C]to mid[G]night
[Dm]The hands that threaten doom[F][G]
[Am]Two minutes [C]to m[G]idnight
[Dm]To kill the unborn in the womb

[Interlude 2]
[F][G][Am][F][Dm][Am][F][Dm][Am][F][Am][D][Am]
[F][Dm][Em][Am][Em][Am][G][Em][Am][Em]
[Am][Dm][C][Dm]
[Em][G][Dm][Em][C][Em][Dm][D][Em][G][Dm][Em][C]
[Dm][D][Em][C][Am][Dm][D][Esus4][E][Em]
[Am][C][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]The body bags and little rags
of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who
remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and
make [Dm]us all dance to their song
[Am]To the tune of starving millions
to [Dm]make a better kind of gun

[Verse 8]
The [Am]killer's breed or the demon's seed
The [F]glamour, [Dm]the fortune, the [C]pain[G]
Go to [Am]war again,
blood is freedom's stain
Don't you [F]pray for my
[Am]soul anymore
[Em]

[Verse 9]
[Am]Two minutes to midni[C]gh[G]t
[Dm]The hands that [F]threaten [Dm]doom[F][G]
[Am]Two minutes to midni[C]gh[G]t
[Dm]To kill the unbo[F]rn[Dm]
in the wom[F]b[G]

[Verse 10]
[Am]Midnight
[G]Midnight
[Am]Midnight[Dm]
It's [C]all [Am]night
Midnight
[Dm]Midnight
Midnight
[C]It's all[Am] night[Dm][Am][Dm]
[C][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm]Midnight, [Am]all night
