[Verse 1]
We [A5]didn't pay attention to lessons learned in the past
Soon the sands in the desert [D5]will melt from [A5]the
atomic [C]blast[A5][G#][A5]
Mesopotamia's ground zero for
the coming of world war
Thousands die in the sand but I still
[C5]don't unde[A5]rstand what for[Dm][A5]

[Verse 2]
[A5]As it wa[C]s, a[A5]s it soo[C]n shall [A5]be
We're tee[C]tering on the brink
[A5]of a World W[C]ar I[A5]II
A repetition [C]of his[A5]tory
as [C]you soon [A5]shall see
As it [C]was, [A5]as it s[C]oon sh[A5]all[C][C5][C][Eb][A5][C5][A5]
[D5][A5][C][A5]
[C][D][A5][C][A5][D][Dm][A5][Eb][A5][C]
[A5]be

[Verse 3]
Warmongering leader of [A5]ours waves
the flag of democracy
Sending our men out to die in
the name of [C]bureaucracy
[G#]The oil [A5]fields of Iraq are overflowing
[C]with blood[A5]
Another man dies but [C5]the lies
[A5]rain down like a [D5]flood[A5]

[Verse 4]
[A5]As it wa[C]s, a[A5]s it soo[C]n
[A5]shall be
[C]We're teetering on [C5]the brink
[C]of [A5]a World War I[C]II[A5]
A repetition [C]of his[A5]tory as
[C]you soon [A5]shall [C]see[A5]
As it [C]was, [A5]as it[C] soon sh[A5]all be

[Verse 5]
No [A5]weapons of mass destruction,
no threat to me
Just one man's agenda for war,
not a land of [C]the free[A5]
[G#]I neve[A5]r gave a shit about the Middle East
But now we lie in the bed that we've made,
[C5]start [A5]the atomic feast

[Verse 6]
[A5]As it wa[C]s, a[A5]s it soo[C]n shall [A5]be
We're tee[C]tering on the brink
[A5]of a World W[C]ar I[A5]II
A repetition [C]of his[A5]tory as
[C]you soon shall [A5]see
As it [C]was, [A5]as it soon shall be

[Verse 7]
[C]As it [A5]was, [C]as it [A5]soon shall be[A5]
As it [A5]was, [C]as it soon shall be[A5]
As it [C]was, as it [A5]soon shall be
[C]As it [C]was, as it soon shall be
