Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am]
[F][Am]

[Verse 1]
The day that civil [Am]glory
dismembered my civility
I could have parted ribs and flesh
like a differ[Dm]ent kind [Am]of Red Sea
Drowned the ancient
east in western progress
[Dm]Custom and [Am]the least of
all our pride and sentiments
[Dm]Whic[C]h tu[Am]rned out to be the closest
thing to a fashion [F#5]trend
[Bb]That's ever been bulletproof
[Am]Which turned out to be the closest
thing to a fashion trend
[Am]That's ever [Bb]been put on trial
[Am]

[Verse 2]
The rest was cast off as denial
of statehood and mastery
The ultimate form o[Bb]f tre[Am]ason is the treacherous use
of reason [Bb](the treach[C] er[Am]ous us[Em]e)[Am]
Employed by the bastard sons of American
fore-fathers who who keep this fire burning
With the flesh of their would-be American
American daughters
Daughters
Daughters

[Verse 3]
Daughters
[Em]What [Dm]will hap[Am]pen to our chil[F]dren w[Am]hen[Eb5]
[Dm]the [Am]least of us pass [Dm]on?[Em][Am]
Us who fought the monsters of our
[Dm]country's crowded closet
[F]Us who dropped the bombs on goodness
[Bb]when we saw it [Em]wasn't flaw[F]less
[Am]Us whose youthful li[Dm]fe was
hostage to what harm [F]did
Who [Am]fought [Bb]the hardest to be
[Em]swept under the [Am]car pet

[Interlude 1]
[Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]And I'm still a cigarette softly s[C]moking
on the edge of a metal ash[Am]tray
I begged this place to let me burn,
and it [C]whispered, [Cm]"burn [C]away"[Am]
