[Verse]
E7                       
Brother will kill brother
E7                            
Spilling blood across the land
A                   
Killing for religion
A7          E7              
Something I don't understand
A7 E7                             
■  Fools like me who cross the sea
                    E    
And come to foreign lands
E7                             
Ask the sheep for their beliefs
       E7                   
Do you kill on God's command
                 E7     
A country that's divided
E7                   
Surely will not stand
   E7                          
My past erased no more disgrace


[Chorus]
   E7                 
No foolish naive stand
                     E7           
The end is near it's crystal clear
        E7             
Part of the master plan
A7                      
Don't look now to Israel
   A7                     
It might be your homelands

E                      
■ Upon my podium as the
        E7         
Know it all scholar
                E7          
Down in my seat of judgement
             E7            
Gavel's bang uphold the law
   E7                    
Up on my soapbox a leader
    E7                 
Out to change the world
D7                       E7    
Down in my pulpit as the holier
                            E7

[Verse]
A    E   C      E              
Wage the war on organized crime
C                            E7   
Sneak attacks repel down the rocks
E          E7   
Behind the lines


[Chorus]
                 C           
Some people risk to employ me
                 E  A         
Some people live to destroy me
                E        C  
Either way they die they die

[Verse]
E                          C   
They killed my wife and my baby
E                         
■ With hopes to enslave me
      E                   
First mistake last mistake


[Chorus]
                                     A      E
Paid by the alliance to slay all the giants ■

E7                                      
Fill the cracks in with judicial granite
                E7    
Because I don't say it
E7                            
Don't mean I ain't thinkin' it
                                             B7  
Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
E7                                                  
I know what I said now I must scream of the overdose
        E7                    
And the lack of mercy killings
E7            
Mercy killings
      E7      
Mercy killings
                  E                  
Killings killings ■ killings killings
E7                                     E            
■  Next thing you know they'll take my thoughts away
