Some blackened pride still burns inside 
      D 
This shell of bloody treason 
C/A     D/A        C/A        D/A 
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun 
        D 
For the love of living death. 
  A        F/A              G/A      C/A 
The killer's breed or the demon's seed,

The napalm screams of human flames

Of a prime time belsen feast...yeah! 
   C/A      D/A    C/A      D/A 
As the reasons for the carnage 
       D 
cut their meat and lick the gravy, 
  C/A   D/A           C/A     D/A 
We oil the jaws of the war machine

and feed it with our babies.

The body bags and little  rags

of children torn in two 
     C/A   D/A                 C/A    D/A 
And the jellied brains of those who remain

to put the finger right on you.

To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.
