Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[E]Oh![Am] Oliver Boy what did you do?
But crush the hand [F]you never [Am]shook[E]
Then rob the rights of people to be [Am]free
Oh! Oliver Boy it's a terrible state
You left behind a worse off race
[E]Where dignity and pride
fought for their [Am]place
[G]Oh! Oliver Boy now [Am]you are g[E]one
And we're still here where
we [Am]belong
[E]Forgiveness being our strength you'll never

[Verse 2]
[Am]Now the sun shines on this page I write
Though it's [F]raining hard in Palestine
No [E]lands are promised lands
When will we [C]see?[G][E][Am]
So don't tell me that your
God's my God
I don't [F]think they even care at all
Just [E]a pantomime behind
a curtain lies de[C]ceit
[G]Oh [E]lis[G]ten[Am] to[G]
me [C]bark out loud
[E]Without a voice and [Am]little growl
[G]Snapping at the [C]heels I wait
For [E]something more to change
The more they [C]stay [E]the same

[Verse 3]
[Am]Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
[F]Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
[C]Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
[E]Where there's blood

[Verse 4]
there's death not glory
[Am]Look into these empty eyes
[F]Fed upon by parasites
As [E]beauty's ugly head devours
its [C]plight[G][E][Am]
While the borders of our hate create
[F]Nothing more than each our fate
[E]Trapped between our comfort
and our [C]crime[G][E][Am]
So [G]stand along the [C]graveyard wall
And [E]watch the souls per[Am]form their song
[G]Sing to us [C]the dead above
As [E]the mourners come to pray
The living [C]stay [E]away

[Verse 5]
[Am]Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
[F]Oliver Boy! Just
the clothes are different
[C]Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
[E]Where there's blood there's
death not glory
[Am]Oliver Boy! We're all someone's sons
[F]All of our Boys! Just put down their guns
[C]Oliver Boy! You're dead but listen
[E]You were wrong but we're no dif

Marching [Am]to th[C]e left,
[F]eve[C]ryone in step
Don't ask the question,
[E]why we're here with no dir[Am]ection
March[C]ing to the [E]right,

The curse [E]of friction,

born of man and contradiction

[F]All of our Boys! Just put down the guns
[C]Oliver Boy! You're dead but listen
