As arranged/played by The Magnificent Sevens in their cover.
[Double-time chorus]
C G F C
The tangled web they weave spans from Pine to Ruby Ridge
G F
Way back to Shay's defeat on up to Gufstafsen
C G F C
Now cue the ass parade of dittoheads and commisars and pricks
G F
To drown out the faintest hint of commie faggot heretics
[Chorus]
C G F
The nail that sticks up gets hammered down
C G F
The master's finest, his finest tools are found
C G F
Slack-jawed and placid amidst the cacophony
C G F
Of screaming billboards and Disney-fied history
[Verse]
G Am F
Sometimes the ties that bind us are strange
G
No justice shines upon the cemetery plots marked
Am F
Hampton, Weaver, or Anna Mae, where
[Chorus]
C G F
Federal bureaus and fraternal orders
C G
Have cast their shadows
F
Permanent features built into these borders
[Instrumental break]
G Am F
C G Am F
G Am F
G
[Bridge]
Am F Am F
But under cover of the, the customary gap we find between
Am F
History and truth, founding fathers
Am F
Back with the rockets blinding red glare
The bombs bursting in air, one nation indivisible
[Verse]
G
The truth is when the back country learned of ratification
Am F
The people had a coffin painted black
G
And solemnly borne in funeral procession
Am F
They buried it deep in the earth as
[Chorus]
C G F
An emblem of the, the disillusion
C G F
Internment of their, their Publick Liberty
C G F C
And someday, somewhere, today's empires are
G F
Tomorrow's ashes
[Outro]
G Am F
