play intro once
the night I turned 25 it was legos on the floor
it seemed like a safe enough game
play intro once
for a man to play with his daughter
(hammer chords)
an automatic rifle and a bullet through the window
back to intro (PM)
and the troops are satisfied that justice had been delivered
(palm mute and strum twice, then play without the palm mute once)
back to intro (PM)
that was enough to set the spark of a vision in another
18 years - 18 year old girl - to see herself a martyr
back into intro
to keep up with the cycle
(hammer chords)
of an automatic rifle and a bullet through the window
back to intro
and the troops were satisfied that justice had been delivered
(not 100% sure about the last verse)
close your eyes to the suns blinding light
a three story concrete house and a steady paycheck
cause open eyes will be
infected with politics
and even a smart girl can end up
with a bomb strapped to her chest
part where he hums)
end on
