Verse
F#BBF#
You call them soldiers, I call them friends,
BbEbmAbmDb
From different countries I've never met.
F#BBF#
You call them heroes after they die,
BbEbmAbmDb
After you pay them, and steal their lives.
F#BBF#
You call it high school, but all I learned
BbEbmAbmDb
Is that there's something wrong with the earth,
F#BBF#BbEbmAbmDb
And all your politics are just a dirty trick to keep us feeling sick, and keep us arguing.
Pre-chorus
BbEbmAbmBbEbm
Your bullets and your stones can pierce right through my bones,
BbEbmBDb
But this heart remains my own, and I will always have control!
Chorus
F#EbmAbmDb
And when our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind
F#Ebm
Is that the devil holds their throats.
AbmDbmB
And only heaven holds your soul, so don't let go.
Verse
FBBF#
Our generation needs education
BbEbmAbmDb
About creation, not separation.
FBBF#
We are the nation, on medication,
BbEbmAbmDb
Our population built on hesitation.
FBBF#
See back in high school I never was cool,
BbEbmAbmDb
Until I chose to just do what I do.
FBBF#
I skipped my classes, put on my glasses,
BbEbmAbmDbBbEbm
And wrote my love songs, so I could find some sunshine in the rain;
AbmBbEbmBbEbm
A way to stop my pain, and now I understand
B
That my pain was in their plan!
Chorus
F#EbmAbmDb
And when our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind
F#Ebm
Is that the devil holds their throats.
AbmDbmB
And only heaven holds your soul, so don't let go.
Chorus
BF#
See when all is said and done,
DbBbF#m
We will burn into the sun,
EbmDb
The moon will shine upon
FDbEbm
The distant earth that it once loved.
EEbmDb
The stars will sing a song,
F#BbEbmDF
For all the humans who got lost inside themselves...
FmDbF#AbmEB
And left the whole wide world to burn in hell.
