Chorus 

Spoken: chords--repeated Bm G D A 
why should I have to pay five dollars for a gallon of gas 
when we can send a boy to shoot a rag-head and pay four-sixty? 
if a smart bomb explodes in a city, and I'm not there,  
does it make a sound? can you hear the children scream? 
they're not your kids though, right? 

G                 A         Bm           G       A        Bm          Bm 
red and white the stars and stripes, the blue is for the dead 
G                A            Bm           Bm   G           A       D  D 
we will play the drum while Barack leads us on, walk of the living dead
