[Eb]
Now after the war, you build all the tanks and guns, you build a big plane, and you build a big bomb.
You hide behind walls, you're all done dead.
I just want you to know, I can see through your mask.
You think that I've done nothing, but hate my world.
Like a girl, I look so right, with a gun in my hand.
Then you try to run from the bad bullet line.
[Bbm]
[Ab] [Eb]
How much do I know to talk out of time?
You may say that I'm ignorant.
But I'm younger than Jesus, and never an alien.
Pressing the trigger for the confine.
You sit back and watch, watch out for your heart.
You shouldn't be dying, while your people are in the ground.
[Bb]
[Eb] [Gb]
Let me ask you one question.
Yes or no, no.
You think that it's good.
I think you're gonna find, oh yes sir.
All the money that you made, you're gonna find back your soul.
[Eb] One day you're gonna die, and it's gonna come soon.
I'll follow your [Ebm] path, yes I will.
The [Eb] late afternoon, I won't [Ebm] wait.
And [Eb] then, I'll stand over your body, and make sure that today.
[Bbm] [Ab] [Ebm]

[B]
