You can't fight a war with nobody to fight that
[G] But if we get to dig into the bottom of the stack
[Em] We'll sell it to the U.K. and you never know, maybe
[G] You'll get back home and you'll see hope they be [Am] off
We'll just act like we care All [Em] we're needing is a reason
It don't need to be clear [G] Singing songs to the news
It can play to their fears [Em] Someone's gotta die
And we don't have to love it But [G] the military's still got more
In its budget, [Am] oh We always need more next year
No one cares about the [G] waste
Not
[C] about the other stuff [G] Not about the other [D] stuff
It's all [A] the same
[B]
[Em] [D]
[C] Not the last of them
And [G] everybody's loved [D] it But the bloody [A] news
[Em]
When I'm home and the war hasn't ended
[G] There's still money there and that money we spend it
[Em] The power's up here, we gotta do what we do
[G] If they never know it, then they'll never feel used [Am] up
Like I often do
[Em] So all the pretty girls out there looking for heartache
[G] Crying all I want is to be your baby
[Em] And all the pretty girls out there living with heartache
[G] Crying cause I'm never gonna see that baby, [Am] oh
We just act like we care
No one cares about [Em] the waste
[D]
[C] Not about the other stuff
[G] Not about the other [Bm] stuff
It's all [A] the same
[Em] No one cares about [D] the [C] waste
Not the last of them
And [G] everybody's loved [D] it But the [A] bloody news
[Em] It's [D]
