Вступление
[Intro]
CEmG
[Verse]
CEmGD
Piles of bodies on the nightclub floor
CEmGD
The drugs that arrive from a distant shore
CEm
Poppies in fields get torched in a war
GCEm
On everything we ever knew before,
G
ever knew before
CEmG x2
[Verse]
CEmGD
Didn't you used to buy this stuff
CEmGD
To feed your youth to keep them dazed?
CEm
Even as you talk of a war on drugs
GC
The name on the cheque says CIA,
EmG
says CIA
CEmG x2
[Interlude]
CEm
Burn the supply and raise the price
G
On the streets where the votes were disallowed
CEm
The voice against war is the voice of the poor
GC
And those that turned their heads around
CGFC x4
[Bridge]
CGFC
So when you see us laughing it's a sign of self defense
GFC
A mirror for the madness that replaces common sense
CGBb
[Verse]
CEmGD
Flags get flown on the way back home
CEmGD
From the wars that end when the whistle's blown
CEm
Kit supplied from a factory, sewn
GC
For a fraction of the price where the rice gets grown
[Interlude]
CEmG
Patriotic fervour rests
Em
Its legs on desperation's back
BbDC
When asked to justify itself
DG
It wrapped its silence in a flag
BbFC
The big man cheers for the price of a beer
D
The peace distraction brings
BbFC
Away from the news and the darkened views
D
As empires spread their wings

A mirror for the madness that replaces common sense
FGCBb
So when you see us laughing
FG
