E
welcome to 2003 minus 25
B7
oh , say can you smell her for the smoke

god’s still up there laughin’ so he’s gotta be alive
E
who says he can’t take a dirty joke
E
power isn’t , power does and power slips away
A
it’s so easy to abuse
B7
who’d’ve thought them arabs would’ve bought
E
the usa just to give it to the jews
B7 E
singin’ crime still don’t pay just like it used to
B7 E
and you know that time slips away till you die
B7 E
and you know that i don’t give a damn when i choose to
B7 E
and you know that it don’t hurt so bad when you’re high
E
oh , say does the future of the homesick
B7
and the brave even matter anymore

there ain’t no more reason for them boys
E
to run away than there was to fight before
E
would you tell me why the hell we’d try to win back in a war
A
what we wasted in the last?
B7
might just ain’t as righteous as it used to be before
E
when your army’s out of gas
B7 E
singin’ crime still don’t pay just like it used to
B7 E
and you know that time slips away till you die
B7 E
and you know that i don’t give a damn when i choose to
B7 E
and you know that it don’t hurt so bad when you’re high
B7 E
singin’ crime still don’t pay just like it used to
B7 E
and you know that time slips away till you die
B7 E
and you know that i don’t give a damn when i choose to
B7 E
and you know that it don’t hurt so bad when you’re high
