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

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

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
