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
