Am G Am G
You tell us that weʼre wrong
Am G Am G
You tell us not to sing our songs
Am G Am Em
Nothing we can say will make you see
Am Em Am Em
Youʼve got a heart of stone, you can never feel
Am G Am Em
You say, "Oh, Iʼm not afraid, it canʼt happen to me
Am Em Am Em
I believe that life is a good thing (?)
Am G Am Em
Oh no, youʼre out of your mind, it wonʼt happen to me
F G F G
ʼCause Iʼve carried my weight and Iʼve been a strong man"
Am G Am G
Oh, I listen to the man in the liquor store
Am G Am G
Anybody want a drink before the war?

Am G Am G
Your parents paid you through
Am G Am G
Youʼve got a nice big car, nothing bothers you
Am G Am Em
Somebody cut out your eyes, you refuse to see
Am Em Am Em
Ah, somebody cut out your heart, you refuse to feel

F G F G
And you live in a shell, you create your own hell
F G Am G
You live in the past and talk about war
F G
And you dig your own grave, yeah
F G
When itʼs a life you could save
F G Am G
So stop with the past, itʼs not gonna happen

Am G
And you cry but youʼll never fall
Am G
No no no, youʼre building a wall
Am G Am Em
Got to break it down, start again
Am Em Am Em
You say, "oh no, it wonʼt happen to us"
Am Em Am Em
Weʼve lived our lives basically in goodness"

F G F G
So stop talking of war ʼcause you know weʼve heard it all before
F G Am G
Why donʼt you go out there and do something useful?
Am G Am G
Oh, Iʼve listened to the man in the liquor store
Am G Am G
(?) Anybody want a drink before the war?
Am G Am Em
Anybody want a drink before the war
Am Em Am Em
Ah, anybody want a drink before the war?
Am G Am G
Yeah, yeah...
