One in three can't read

We just sit and wait like a loaded gun

A augmentedA gunman down, in a blaze of glory
A minorAm  G/BG/B    C majorC
Only ten years old
A minorAm    G/BG/B    C majorC
Makes my blood run cold
    A minorAm   G/BG/B     C majorC    FF
And the press descends like birds of prey

Verse:
  C majorC  G/BG/B   A minorAm     FF
And politicians stay in office
C majorC    G/BG/B   A minorAm         FF
Far too long to vote their conscience
A minorAm    G/BG/B    C majorC
Lobbied, bought and sold
A minorAm   G/BG/B    C majorC
Trading votes for gold

For the beast to stay alive, it has to feed
            G+G           FF
That's why in times of peace, they create an enemy
                C majorC
And though we call the Big Red Scare
       G+G       DmDm
It's just my neighbour over there
