Intro:

Em


Verse 1:
Em
Sleek and clean, the death machines
 Em
Stand ready on the decks.
 Em
Inside, the men who fight in them
 Em
Run through their final checks.
 Em
Absorbed in it, the pilots sit,
 Em
Their lives unmoved by hate.
 Em
For those that fly make others die,
 Em
And never touch their fate.

Chorus:
A
He just flies the bomber.
 Em
He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down.
B                         Em
He just flies the bomber.


Verse 2:
Em
Inbound trip, without a slip,
 Em
The shuttle drops them free.
 Em
They set the track for their attack.
 Em
The backup squads agree.
 Em
Now trim the jet, and don’t forget
 Em
To plot in the return.
 Em
It’s time to go, for down below's
 Em
The planet they must burn.


Chorus:
A
He just flies the bomber.
 Em
He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down.
B                         Em
He just flies the bomber.


Verse 3:
 Em
Now make the run, so quick it’s done,
 Em
The jets scream toward the ground.
 Em
But moving fast, they’re so far past,
 Em
They never hear a sound.
 Em
A final turn as from the stern
 Em
They watch the mushrooms grow,
 Em
That fill the night with deadly light,
 Em
And kill the world below.


Chorus:
A
He just flies the bomber.
 Em
He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down.
B                         Em
He just flies the bomber.


Bridge:
A                                                                        Em
Back aboard the shuttle, there’ll be time enough to think what they have done.
 A                                                                     B
They’ll find their antiseptic war won’t leave them with a place that they can run.
C            B
  Nowhere to run.


Solo:
Em
A      Em
B  Em


Verse 4:
 Em
And there’s no deep, untroubled sleep
 Em
For those with such a debt.
 Em
The guilt, alone, will not atone,
 Em
Nor let a soul forget
 Em
Those cries and screams, they’re not just dreams,
 Em
Imagination’s lies.
 Em
Goddamn the whore, the bitch who bore
 Em
You killers from the skies.


Chorus:
A
He just flies the bomber.
 Em
He never sees their eyes when the hell comes down.
B                         Em
He just flies the bomber.
