Shatter the Rock

©2007 Garrett Clevenger

 

Am           Hard as Iraq,         fightin' like a cock.

Dm    Em  gettin' off on         power and shock.

 

Am           Simmerin' in the sun,        a powder keg's begun

Dm    Em  to blow it's top.     Chaos has overrun.

 

Chorus:

Fsus2    G               Oh, hard as a rock,

D  Fsus2  G            Iraq.         Hard as Iraq

 

Am           Ancient tribal links,          always on the brink.

Dm    Em  Me thinks              the future's pretty bleak.

 

Am           Sectarian               violent sufferin'.

Dm    Em  Settlin' scores        deeper than skin.

 

{chorus}

 

Am           Fueled by corporate greed.           The perfect enemy

Dm    Em  because     gas is so cheap.

 

Am           But, whoa, when the price is raised          to equal all the ways

Dm    Em  people are killed    and tortured as slaves.

 

{chorus}

 

Am           History stays the same,     though the battles have changed.

Dm    Em  The have-nots always want things rearranged.

 

Am           To shatter the rock            and save Iraq

Dm    Em  don't be rigid,       learn to talk.

 

{chorus}

Fsus2    G               Oh, shatter the rock,

D  Fsus2  G            Save Iraq.            Shatter the rock.
