Verse 1:
E MajorE      BB   C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
11th century AD, a king says come to war with me
E MajorE          BB        C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
And never mind thou shalt not kill, we're dealing now with infidels
E MajorE          BB       C# minorC#m         A augmentedA
He raises high his sword and then he charges forth with all his men
E MajorE            BB     C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
And with the blessing of the papacy, in a righteous tongue he screams

Chorus:
  E MajorE      BB     C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
The ends, they justify the means, my friends
    E MajorE     BB        E MajorE
Oh the ends, they justify the means

Verse 2:
   E MajorE         BB       C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
They tell him a life is nothing more than a weapon in a time of war
E MajorE        BB           C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
And this is the only way we've found to tear these mighty symbols down
E MajorE           BB         C# minorC#m         A augmentedA
In the cockpit now he starts to steer so all the world will clearly hear
E MajorE         BB        C# minorC#m      A augmentedA
These once benign flying machines shouting out of TV screens

Chorus:
  E MajorE      BB     C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
The ends, they justify the means, my friends
    E MajorE     BB        E MajorE
Oh the ends, they justify the means

Verse 3:
  E MajorE         BB       C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
The talking heads are shouting now, working hard to break it down
E MajorE          BB       C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
Cause reasons get a little blurred when justice is a household word
E MajorE          BB       C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
And as the stations ratings soar, night vision cameras watch the war
E MajorE          BB     C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
While far across a veil of sea we cheer the black and flashing greens

Chorus:
  E MajorE      BB     C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
The ends, they justify the means, my friends
    E MajorE     BB        E MajorE
Oh the ends, they justify the means

   E MajorE       BB       C# minorC#m      A augmentedA
Says I know how to play this game and everybody knows my name
  E MajorE        BB        C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
He preys upon the people’s fears, tells them what they want to hear
  E MajorE          BB      C# minorC#m         A augmentedA
And they celebrate his victory on the front of tabloid magazines

Chorus:
  E MajorE      BB     C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
The ends, they justify the means, my friends
    E MajorE     BB        E MajorE

He climbed upon a mountain high and spoke to every passerby
  E MajorE     BB     C# minorC#m       A augmentedA
Everyone you ever knew is really just a part of you
E MajorE       BB            C# minorC#m            A augmentedA
They see the life you choose to live, and they feel the hope you choose to give
  E MajorE        BB       C# minorC#m        A augmentedA
And every word you ever say, you teach the world to live that way
    E MajorE       BB      C# minorC#m          A augmentedA
And when society had had enough, they beat him down and lifted him up
 E MajorE            BB          C# minorC#m      A augmentedA
They crossed his feet and raised his hands, and quietly he whispered then

  E MajorE      BB      C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
The means, they justify the ends, my friends
    E MajorE      BB      C# minorC#m     A augmentedA
Oh the means, they justify the ends, my friends
    E MajorE      BB      E MajorE
