Desaparecidos
Version1
90

Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  want to pledge allegiance  to the country  where I live
I  don't want to be ashamed  to be American
but  opportunity
no  it don't exist
it's  the opiate
of  the populace
we  need some harder shit now
the  truth's getting around
and  each public school is a halfway house
where  the huddled masses sober up and up
enough?  There's not enough
 to fatten  the cows and feed  all of us.
 It's just  a rationing  of luck
what  can't be bought gets raffled off.
oh  god good god shed greed  on thee,
 your shining  sea turned a dirty  green
from  the industry
off  the shores of New Jersey
 (Chords same as above)
 I got a letter from the army so I think that I'll enlist
 I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something
 too bad that nowadays you just point and click
 swing low satellite, hot white chariot
 in the computer's blue glare
 the bombs burst in the air
 there was a city once now nothing's there
 our freedom comes at their expense
 it makes sense does it?
 Dollars and cents
 they're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence
 that's surrounding your housing development
 in case you lack the confidence
 oh god my god give strength to thee
 these amber waves purple majesty is nothing but
 backdrops for Disney
 look up close  it's superimposed
on  a blank blue screen yea its fantasy
fucking  magical
 the dream floats  like a chemical
through  each snapped synapse
 our television past that is beautiful
no  more
no  more

I got a letter from the army so I think that I'll enlist

I'm not brave or proud of nothing I just want to kill something

too bad that nowadays you just point and click

swing low satellite, hot white chariot

in the computer's blue glare

the bombs burst in the air

there was a city once now nothing's there

our freedom comes at their expense

it makes sense does it?

Dollars and cents

they're stretching barbed wire across the picket fence

that's surrounding your housing development

in case you lack the confidence

oh god my god give strength to thee

these amber waves purple majesty is nothing but

backdrops for Disney

look up c[C]lose it's s[Dm]uperimposed
[Am]on a blank blue screen yea its fantasy
[G]fucking magical
the dream fl[C]oats like a [Dm]chemical
[Am]through each snapped synapse
our television past that is [G]beautiful
[C]no more
[Dm]no more
[Am] [G] [Am] [F] [E] [C]
