Their Lies

A G F E Dm

Dm   High above the war planes sound, droppin' bombs towards the ground.

A G F E Dm Back home no protestin' is found.

Dm   This ain't like the 1960's when thousands of people filled the streets,

A G F E Dm even though death is still complete.

G A Dm Maybe because we know we won't be drafted.

G A F G Maybe because we are too desensitized.

G A Dm Maybe because we believe their lies.

Dm   Vietnam felt our bombs for decades. We know that's wrong.

A G F E Dm The war on terror's gone on way too long.

Dm It's still caught in overdrive. Millions of people have lost their lives,

A G F E Dm feedin' hate 'til no one will survive.

G A Dm Maybe because we can't forgive.

G A F G Maybe because we don't empathize.

G A Dm Maybe because we believe their lies.

A G F E Dm

Dm   Peace on Earth is a pipe dream if people are still made to scream.

A G F E Dm The viscous circle's mean to everything.

Dm   It's up to every one of us to do what we can to bust it

A G F E Dm and give the other side something to trust in.

G A Dm Maybe because it's the right thing to do.

G A F G Maybe because it's at least worth a try.

G A Dm Maybe because too many have died.
