[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am][Asus2]
[Am]Who am I

[Verse 1]
[Am]
to say what's [Dm]right [Asus2]or wrong
[Am]But who are you to pull the trigger on
their [Dm]enemy[Am][Asus2][Am]
Young man joined the front lines to
[Dm]still his stormy [Asus4]soul[Asus2]
[Am]Now all that's left are the
[Dm]memories [Asus2]of old
[Am]They all fall [Dm]down
[Am]Some won't [Dm]sur v[Am]ive
[Dm]Tryi[Am]ng to es[Dm]cape[Am]
The memory of what they became
I tried hard to be proud of my service
But, all I could feel was [Dm]Shame
The racism could [Am]no longer mask
The reality of the occupation
These were people
These were human beings
I feel guilt any time I see a
[Dm]mother with her children
Like the [A]one who cried [Asus4]hysterically
[A]And[Asus4] screamed that we [Am]were
worse than Saddam
As [Dm]we forced [Am]her from her home
I feel guilt any time I see a [Asus4]young gir[Dm]l
Like [Am]the one I grabbed
by the arm
And dragged into [Asus4]the street[Dm]
[Am]We were told we were
fighting terrorists
[Asus4]The real terrorist was [Dm]me
[Am]An d the real terrorism
was this occupation
Who am I to say what's [Dm]right
or [Am]wrong[Asus2][Am]
But who are you to pull the trigger on
their [Dm]en e[Asus2]my[Asus4]
[Am]Young man joined the front lines
to [Dm]still [Am]his stormy [Dm]soul[Am]
Now all that's left are the
[Dm]memories of [Am]war
They [Asus4]all fall [Dm]down[Am]
[Asus4]Some won't surv[Am]ive
[Asus4]Trying to[Am] escape[Asus4] the[Am]
memories of what they became
They [Asus4]all fall [Dm]down[Am]
[Asus4]Some won't surv[Am]ive
[Asus4]Trying to[Am] escape the memories
of [Dm]what they [Am]became
While those weapons are created
and owned by this government
They are harmless without people
willing to use them
[Dm]Those who send us to war
Do not have to pull a trigger [Am]or
lob a mortar round
They do not have to fight the war
They merely have to
sell the war
They need a public whose willing to send their soldiers
in[Dm]to harms way
They need soldiers willing to kill and
be [A]killed without [Am]question
Soldiers, Sail[Dm]ors, Marines, Airmen
[Am]Have nothing to gain from this occup[Dm]ation
[Am]The vast majority of peopl[Dm]e living
in the U.S.
[Am]Have nothing to gain from this
occupation
In fact not only do [Am]we have
nothing to [Dm]gain
[Am]But we suffer more because of it
We lose [Am]limbs
Endure trauma
[Dm]And give our lives
[Am]Our families have to watch flag
draped coffins lowered into the earth
