Intro: Em
C
You've got the mouth of a she wolf
Am
Inside the mask of an innocent lamb
Em
You say your heart is all compassion
Dsus2/F# G
But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram
Am C
Yet you always made a profit baby
Em
If it was a famine or a feast
C
Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,
Am
I was cursed with x-ray vision,
Em
I could see right through all the lies you told,
Dsus2/F# G
When you smiled for the television
Am C
And you can see the coming battle
Em
You pray the drums will never cease
Am C
And you may win this war that's coming
Em
But would you tolerate the peace?
D G C Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
D
Investing in munitions
G
And those little cotton flags
C
Invest in wooden caskets
Am G Em
In guns and body bags, guns and body bags
C
Your daddy was a businessman
Am
And it always made good sense
Em
You know the war can make you rich my friend
Dsus2/F# G
In dollars, pounds and cents
Am C
In the temple that was Mammon's
Em
You were ordained the parish priest
Am C
Yes you may win this coming battle
Em
But could you tolerate the peace?
D G C Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
D G C Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
D
Invest in deadly weapons
G
And those little cotton flags
C
Invest in wooden caskets
Am
In guns and body bags
D
You're invested in oppression
G
Investing in corruption
C
Invest in every tyranny
Am G Em
And the whole world's destruction
G Em
I imagine there's a future
G Em
When all the earthly wars are over
G Em
You may find yourself just standing there
G Em
On the white cliffs of Dover
G Em
You may ask, what does it profit a man
G Em
To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
G Em
Is that your body you see on the rocks below
G Em
As the tide begins to roll?
Am C
And you invested in this prison
Em
From which you never got released
Am C
You may have won this war we're fighting
D G C Am
But would you tolerate the peace?
D G C Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
D
There's a war on our democracy
G
A war on our dissent
C
There's a war inside religion
C
And what Jesus might have meant
D
There's a war on mother nature
G
A war upon the seas
C
There's a war upon the forests
C
On the birds and the bees
D
There's a war on education
G
A war on information
C
A war between the sexes
C
And every nation
D
A war on our compassion
G
A war on understanding
C
A war on love and life itself
Am C Am C
It's war that they're demanding
G Em G Em

Make it easy on yourself

And don't do nothing
