N.C.
We request to negotiate
N.C.
We come to you unarmed
N.C.
We desire to communicate
N.C.
You cannot do us harm

F
They want sacrifice
C                         G                     D
They hatch schemes and ask me to follow their path to the afterlife
F

I've got an appetite
C                     G                   D
For nice things and pipe dreams that my enemies could be blasted by
F
New metaphors

C                          G                  D
View that are better for you can't survive if I'm your competitor
F                 C
Rise together or fight separate wars
G                   Em
I pray I'm never forced to be a predator

F
Spectres spectate
C
We wont last
G
They glad to hate
When gladiators
D
Breathe their last
F
Scream en masse
        C
When the dreams do clash
           G
Like the swords in the wars
        D
Let me bleed on that
F
But they feed on that
      C
Say we need strong backs
G
Call us weak
                 D
If we don't redeem contracts
         F
But the feast wont last
         C
When this beast attacks
     G
The sons and the fatherS
        D
Will be free at last

        F               C
This is love this is not treason (x4)

F                        C
They see sharks in the estuary
G                    D
They claim the arc's Bartholomew's
F               C
They say war is necessary
G                  D
But we say war is child abuse

             F         C          G
We'd rather make our children martyrs than murderers
             F         C        G
We'd rather make our children White Flag Warriors

F
Core-to-core
         C
Were the ones
We've been waiting for
G
We hold steady
D
Steadier than stevedores
F             C
Not tevias or matadors
G                 D
On matters of what came before
F
Forgive the debts
   C
To settle scores
G
Test the mettle
D
Either or

F                       C
Whats your plan got to do with me
       G              D
If the bell tolls let freedom ring
F                       C
And find new ways if we must be King
            G                       D
Instead of leading the young to our suffering

F                   C
We pass testaments down scream back at heaven
G                    D
For testing us like Wednesdays at eleven
F                           C
Wanna recruit and train us to act evilly?
G                                  D
Save it for the shooting range and smack DVDs
F                  C
Won't study war no more this millennium
G                   D
It's never again to me or anyone
F                  C
So think harder when you refer to us
G                         D
Rather make our children martyrs than murderers

        F                 C
This is love, this is not treason (x4)

F                    C
They shell dwellings to quell the shelling
G                  D
They lift taboos to seduce the cowards
F                 C
They say we're too yellow-bellied
    G                    D
But we say we're the new superpower

            F         C       G
We'd rather make our children martyrs that murderers
            F         C       G
We'd rather make our children white flag warriors

F               C
We seek waivers to not be liable
G                       D
We claim to speak for a higher truth
F                       C
We stand opposed to the homicidal
G                  D
We tell you you're fireproof

We'd rather make our children martyrs that murderers

We'd rather make our children
            F         C
We'd rather make our children
            F         C
We'd rather make our children

F                       C
Do what you want to our courage
G               D
Ask us what you will
F                C
Demand from us a sacrifice
 G                D
But do not make us kill
