[Verse 1]
Chicken [Am]Hawk
Chicken Hawk, Chicken
How can it be that [E]you avoid the war
and then try [Am]to send me?
You, your sons and daughters,
your lives have been spared
Oh, [E]Chicken Hawk,
I've got a little [Am]brother over there
He calls home from the base in Iraq,
sometimes commu[E]nications impaired
But between the static,
I feel [Am]how much he's scared
He can only use the line
for a few minutes at a time,
so we talk in a rush
He [E]keeps the conversation light,
like everything's cool, [Am]but man,
his spirit's crushed
Chicken heart, chicken heart,
you've got us on our knees
When [E]you were called to serve
you had [Am]all the priorities
Wrong in your decision
from Iraq to Afghanistan
[E]Oh chicken heart for once
can [Am]you stand and be a man
[Em][Am]
[Em][Am]
These war mongers claim
to be Christians
Want you to think Jesus is on their [E]side
But they use the master
like a servant boy
When [Am]it's convenient to conquer and divide
It gets down on just what
kind of a world
that we want to live in
Do [E]we want peace,
or are gonna let them drag us into a
[Am]murder and death of sin?
Chicken Hawk, Chicken Hawk,
I hope you're still alive
[Em]When the country wakes
to [E]what the [Am]world has realized
Will you face judgment
and still think you are God?
Oh, [Em]chicken hawk, you better [Am]pray the people spare
the [Em]rod[G]
[Am][Em]
[Am][E]
[Am]
Sometimes at [F]night
I have [E]uncontrollable crying fits of anger
All what these world [Am]profiteering
bastards [F]has done
Try[E]ing to force freedom at
the end of a gun
Freedom [Am]that we worked hard [F]for
and [Am]took centuries to [E]steal
[Em]And now a hundred thou[Am]sand
innocent people die [F]in cold blood
In [E]a world growing more and more surreal
[Am]The wind blows a[F] war on in[Em]spire,
rape, and [E]plunder
Until we decide to [Am]take away
these armchair [F]rambles, [Am]thunder
An[E]d our self -righteous delusion
[Am]It's a comfortable place [F]to be
[E]Never knowing how there's
a lie in a field of flea
[Am]These chicken -hea[F]rts
want you to [Am]believe
They're patriot[Em]ic and brave
And they [Am]will realize
That [F]Jefferson's a curse
and [Am]no man is a [F]grave[Am][F][Am]
[F][Am][F][Am][F][Am][F]
[Am]
[F]Chicken [Am]heart, chicken heart,
may they bury you in sand
For [Em]leading us [C]deep into
your [Am]fantasy land
Rooted deep in evil,
cold steel to the core
Oh, [Em]chicken hawk,
I [C]hope you [Am]burn in hell forevermore
