[Verse 1]
He was [Am]just fifteen,
he was a new [C]train[Am]ee
He lied about it for the opportun[C]ity[G]
[Am]To defend the border his

Though not a generation was
native [C]born

[Verse 3]
He [Am]had lost the battle but
won [C]the war[Am]
When the generals said he couldn't
fight [C]no more[Am]
He was proud and bitter at
what he'd [C]done[Am]
So he passed it off to
his favorite [C]son

[G]To [C]the [G]man[C][F][Am]
[F]who owns the [Am]land
[D]We're [E]all the same
But when [Am]his grip begins to [F]slip
Then he'll be [G]calling out your
[F]name[G][Am]

[Verse 7]
And the [Am]throne, the pulpit,
and the [C]politi[Am]cian
Create a thirst for power
in the [G]common [C]man
[Am]It's a taste for blood passed
off [G]as bravery[C][Am]
Or just patriotism [C]hid[G][Em][Am][C][Am]
[G]ing[C][G][Em][Am]
[C][G][Em][Am]
[C]bigotry
[G][Am]
