A Bm
A Bm x2
A Bm A Bm Bm
A man stands up before his God and country
A Bm A Bm Bm
Raises his right hand and takes an oath
A Bm A Bm Bm
Swears he has acted in the line of duty
A Bm A Bm Bm
And he more than anyone wants to tell the truth
G Bm A
But there is a need to keep somethings a secret
G Bm A
Some weapons shipments, some private wars
G Bm A
In the future democracy will be defended
A Bm Bm
Behind closed doors
A Bm A Bm Bm
Now the men of Congress who convene to determine
A Bm A Bm Bm
If covert war is a business or a crime
A Bm A Bm Bm
Are the same men who routinely give their permission
A Bm A Bm Bm
For the shedding of blood in security's name
G Bm A
And there is a need to keep some things a secret
G Bm A
The names of some countries, the terms of some deals
G Bm A
And above all the sound of the screams of the innocent
A Bm BmABmBm
Beneath our wheels
G#m
Does the word justice mean anything to you?
E F#m
Are the features of a lie beginning to come through?
A Bm A Bm Bm
In the streets of America the children are buried
