Kill for gain, or shoot to maim

But we don't need a reason
  A minorAm       C majorC
The golden goose is on the loose
  G+G      D MajorD
And never out of season
A minorAm          C majorC
Blackened pride still burns inside
   G+G        D MajorD
This shell of bloody treason

For the love of living death

To kill the unborn in the womb

🤘 Verse 2:
A minorAm C majorC G+G D MajorD
A minorAm C majorC G+G D MajorD

The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
   G+G       D MajorD
We'll show the unbelievers"
  A minorAm        C majorC
The napalm screams of human flames
   G+G         D MajorD
Of a prime time Belsen feast  yeah!
    A minorAm       C majorC
As the reasons for the carnage
     G+G         D MajorD
Cut their meat and lick the gravy
  A minorAm         C majorC
We oil the jaws of the war machine
  G+G        D MajorD
And feed it with our babies

The body bags and little rags

And the jellied brains of those who remain
      G+G        D MajorD
To put the finger right on you

As the madmen play on words and make us

To the tune of starving millions
     G+G       D MajorD
to make a better kind of gun
