Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][D]
[D]Welcome to 2003 minus 25
Oh, say can you smell her for the [A]smoke
God's still up there laughin'
so He's gotta be alive
Who says He can't take a dirty [D]joke
[D]Power is as power does and power slips away
It's so easy to ab[G]use
[A]Who'd've thought them Arabs would've
bought The USA just to give it to the [D]Jews

[Chorus 1]
Singin' [A]crime still don't pay
just like it [D]used to
And you know that [A]time slips away
till you [D]die
And you know that I [A]don't give a damn
when I [D]choose to
And you know that it [A]don't hurt so bad
when you're [D]high

[Verse 2]
[D]Oh, say does the future of the homesick
And the brave even matter any[A]more
There ain't no more reason for them boys
To run away than there was to fight be[D]fore
Would you [D]tell me why the hell we'd try to
win back in a war
What we wasted in the [G]last?
[A]Might just ain't as righteous as it
used to be before
When your army's out of [D]gas

[Chorus 2]
Singin' [A]crime still don't pay
just like it [D]used to
And you know that [A]time slips away
till you [D]die
And you know that I [A]don't give a damn
when I [D]choose to
And you know that it [A]don't hurt so bad
when you're [D]high
[Repeat and fade]
