Intro:
C Em G

Verse:
C                      Em              G D
Piles of bodies on the nightclub floor
C                            Em           G D
The drugs that arrive from a distant shore
C                     Em
Poppies in fields get torched in a war
   G                              C  Em
On everything we ever knew before,
            G
ever knew before

C Em G x2

Verse:
C                  Em              G D
Didn't you used to buy this stuff
C                     Em              G D
To feed your youth to keep them dazed?
C                     Em
Even as you talk of a war on drugs
    G                           C
The name on the cheque says CIA,
Em     G
says CIA


C Em G x2

Interlude:
C                   Em
Burn the supply and raise the price
       G
On the streets where the votes were disallowed
C                            Em
The voice against war is the voice of the poor
G                                       C
And those that turned their heads around


C G F C x4

Bridge:
C                      G           F              C
So when you see us laughing it's a sign of self defense
                   G              F           C
A mirror for the madness that replaces common sense

C G Bb

Verse:
C                      Em           G D
Flags get flown on the way back home
C                               Em              G D
From the wars that end when the whistle's blown
C                   Em
Kit supplied from a factory, sewn
      G                               C
For a fraction of the price where the rice gets grown

Interlude:
C         Em           G
Patriotic fervour rests
         Em
Its legs on desperation's back
Bb            D         C
When asked to justify itself
D                           G
It wrapped its silence in a flag
Bb                 F                C
The big man cheers for the price of a beer
D
The peace distraction brings
Bb                 F               C
Away from the news and the darkened views
D
As empires spread their wings

Bb F C

   F               G       C Bb
So when you see us laughing
F                          G
It's a sign of self defense
