[Verse 1]
We [D]ran into
trouble scamming for oil
The [C]whole Middle East is coming to a boil
It's [D]the Muslims and Kurds,
Bedouin [C]herds
Palestinians and Arabs
and Jews in the news

[Verse 2]
It's too [D]much to keep up with,
it'll jangle your head
The [C]whole situation's running way in the red

[Verse 3]
I [G]said, don't get me star[Em]ted[D][G]
I'll like as not [Em]bend your [D]ear[G]
Don't get me star[Em]ted[D][G]
I just wanna make [Em]one thing [D]clear

[Verse 4]
I was [D]born in America and
I'm proud of that fact
I wish [C]the rest of the world
would get off our back
But these [D]slick politicians, man,
you've got to admit
Seems as [C]crazy as bedbugs and they
don't give one whit

[Verse 5]
About [D]the man on the street with
his back to the wall
Who can[C]'t find a quarter for
to make a phone call
[D]Meanwhile back in Washington,
the champagne will flow
Tell [C]that to the home[G]less
[C]man with [Am]nowhere to go
I [C]said,

[Verse 6]
[G]don't get me started[Em][D][G]
I came into this [Em]bar to un[D]wind[G]
Don't get me star[Em]ted[D][G]
I'll like as not [Em]speak my [D]mind

[Verse 7]
The [D]rich corporations have
turned a deaf ear
They don't [C]care who goes hungry,
they've made that much clear
You see the [D]trouble with people
is we wanna believe
But they [C]can't turn a profit
without tricks up their sleeve

[Verse 8]
It's [D]the roofers and truckers,
the working class suckers
[C]The firemen and teachers,
the soldiers and preachers
[D]Who shoulder the blows,
it comes and it goes
[C]A six trillion dollar debt,
you [Am]pay through the nose
I [C]said,

[Verse 9]
[G]don't get me started[Em][D][G]
I'm a drag when I've
[Em]had a few drinks[D][G]
And don't get me star[Em]ted[D][G]
I don't care what [Em]anyone think[D]s
'Cause it [C]makes [G]me [C]ang[Am]ry[C]

[Verse 10]
[D]East Timor's genocide to the core
The [C]Indonesian legions come
and give 'em what for
When the Co[D]alition Army doesn't
come to your aid
[C]You might as well face it,
there's no money to be made

[Verse 11]
I had [D]a dream last night,
I was secretary of defense
[C]And I came to the conclusion,
war doesn't make any sense, yeah
[D]But nobody heard me when I
tried to rescind it
There [C]were too many people
[G]that just [Am]didn't want to end it
I [G]said,

[Verse 12]
don't get me star[Em]ted[D][G]
You never know [Em]when I might [D]stop[G]
Don't get me star[Em]ted[D][G]
We both need to just [Em]let
this thing [D]drop[G]

[Verse 13]
Don't get me star[Em]ted[D][G]
Don't get me star[Em]ted, not [D]now[G]
Don't get me star[Em]ted
[D]'Cause it [C]make me [Am]angry[C]
