Snare Drum Intro

G+G
You can go to war when your 18
   C majorC
But, you can't buy a beer
G+G
You can launch missles from a submarine
     A augmentedA          D MajorD
But, you can't buy a pistol, here
    G+G
You can breathe chemical weapon fumes
   C majorC
But, they don't want you to smoke
        G+G
So, when you're shootin' up a car in Baghdad
   D MajorD       G+G
Don't order a Rum & Coke

G+G
You can have sex when you're 17
     C majorC
You just can't have a cigarette
     G+G
You ain't old enough for a slot-machine
   A augmentedA          D MajorD
Or to lay down a football bet
       G+G
But, they'll take you at the clinic when you're 15
     C majorC
And your folks don't have to know
      G+G
Or you can take Penicillin
                D MajorD       G+G
Just don't watch people gettin' naked on vide o

C majorC
You can be governor at at 21
   G+G
Or a president at 35
You can be the senator from South Carolina
  A augmentedA          D MajorD
If you can just stay al ive
    G+G
They'll throw you in with sharks when your 12 years old
  C majorC
And teach you to scubadive
         G+G
But, when you're 94, and can't see anymore more
D MajorD           G+G
They'll still let you drive

   C majorC
Just don't get caught with no beer in your hand
  G+G
If you just turned 18
They don't mind you ownin' a big old torch
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
And a gallon of gasol ine
     G+G
You just can't buy smokes at the liquor store
  C majorC
Or ya'll will both go to jail
       G+G
But, they'll sell you the rope
So you can hang yourself
       D MajorD           D MajorD
While you're listenin' to Nine Inch Nails

    G+G
It's a sorry world
It's a sorry world
            C majorC
It's a sorry world when you can raise youngens
     D MajorD           G+G
But, you can't smoke a Marlbor o

    G+G
It's a sorry world
It's a sorry world
                C majorC
It's a sorry world when you're 17
     D MajorD           G+G
But, you can't call a call-girl
