[Verse 1]
[F]I grew up alive,
[G]in [F]a small tow[Em]n
[G]I was[F] tir[Em]ed an[G]d wired before I[F]
was old enough to get [G]down[F]
An[G]d they sent us to a shitty
public [F]school[G][F][G]
With metal de[F]tectors[G]
With good board [F]projectors[G]
With background re[F]flectors
[G]Did you ever think when they
were [C]checking you for guns
That [F]one [G]did it?
Tell her I [F]didn't give you one
[G]Did you ever think when [F]they
were checking you for guns
But what [G]did the doctor [F]say, son?
[G]Where is, where [F]is, where is,
where [G]is, where is
Richard [F]now?
[G]Where is, where is, [F]where is,
where [G]is, where is
Richard [F]now?
Is he [G]alone?[F]
With the sun beating [G]down?[F]
[Em]Well, if you [G]need to see a doctor
[F]Don't have the money to pay the doctor
Then the [G]doctor, he [F]don't come
[G]To a shitty public [F]school[G]
[F]With nanodetectors
[G]And keyboard rej[F]ectors
[G]And back -up ref[F]lectors
[G]Did you ever think when [F]they
were checking you for guns
That [G]one didn't turn?
Alright, [F]I'll give you one
[G]Did you ever think when [F]they
were checking you for guns
That [G]one didn't turn?
[Am]Sign
[Bm]Hey
[D]Sign
Go to [G]war
Go [F]to war
We're giving you noth[G]ing
We want [F]more, go to [G]war, go [F]to war
Giving you noth[G]ing,
we want [F]more[Em][Bm][C]
[G][Bm][C]
[G][Am][G][Bm][C]
[G]Where is, where [F]is, where is,
where [G]is, where is
Richard [F]now?
[G]Where is, where [F]is, where is,
where [G]is, where is
Richard [F]now?
Out of a [G]life, [F]in a small [G]town[F]
[G]You'll be tired and wired be[F]fore
you're old enough to [G]get [F]down
And they'll [G]send us to a
sheep of [F]a s[Em]chool
[G]With metal de[F]tectors,
[G]with good boy rej[F]ectors[G][F]
And [G]we will never think when [F]they
are checking us for guns
And [G]one day they'll turn
around and give [F]us one
[G]We will never think when [F]they
are checking us for guns
And one [G]day they'll turn
around [Am]say[Bm]
Hey, [D]son
You're the [G]one, you're [F]the one
We're giving [G]you nothing,
we want [F]more
You're the [G]one, you're [F]the one
Givin' ya [G]nothin', we want [F]it more
Go to [G]war, go [F]to war
Givin' ya [G]nothin', we want [F]it more
Go to [G]war, go [F]to war
Givin' [G]ya nothin', givin' [F]ya nothin'
[G]
