ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
A man stands up before his God and country
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Raises his right hand and takes an oath
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Swears he has acted in the line of duty
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And he more than anyone wants to tell the truth
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But there is a need to keep somethings a secret
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Some weapons shipments, some private wars
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
In the future democracy will be defended
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Behind closed doors
Verse→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Now the men of Congress who convene to determine
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
If covert war is a business or a crime
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Are the same men who routinely give their permission
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
For the shedding of blood in security's name
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And there is a need to keep some things a secret
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
The names of some countries, the terms of some deals
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And above all the sound of the screams of the innocent
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Beneath our wheels
ch]G#m[/ch
Does the word justice mean anything to you?
ch]E[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
Are the features of a lie beginning to come through?

In the streets of America the children are buried
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Caught in an avalanche of weapons and drugs
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
They live and they die in the bowels of a business
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
That disguised as a war between The Crips and The Bloods
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And there is a need to keep some things a secret
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
The C.I.A. deals protecting the source
ch]G[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
And the government policies directly connecting
ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
The drugs and our wars
ch]G#m[/ch
Does the word justice mean anything to you?
ch]E[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch
As the battlefield comes home and democracy falls through

ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I am waiting for the time to come
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
When the word will be real for everyone
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
And not just a word but a thing that can be done
ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
Justice must be won
