Intro 
Em Em/F# Em/G 
C D7 

verse 1 
          Em               Em/F# 
He has no feelings for the dead 
          Em/G 
He's just calling out for more 
C 
ExxonMobil likes it 
        D7 
So he's happy to make war 
      Em                 Em/F# 
He'll send your child to die 
          Em/G 
Somewhere far across the sea 
C 
Bombing Afghan villages 
       D7 
In the name of liberty 
               Em           Em/F# 
He says you're with us or a-gainst us 
    Em/G 
And he is keeping score 
    C 
His agents are all over 
              D7 
They might be breaking down your door 
   Em        Em/F# 
He lives for death 
   Em/G 
He is the evil axis 
    C 
And I am sick of theory 
      D7 
Let's talk about praxis 
 
Em              Em/F#     Em/G 
I have seen the enemy 
C 
   He's right there in the spotlights 
Em             Em/F#       Em/G        C 
   And if this song were a rifle 
D7                        Em 
   I would have him in my sights

verse 2 
     Em               Em/F# 
He's found his raison d'etre 
   Em/G 
He is the global cop 
     C 
With peace he'd lose his purpose 
       D7 
So the fight will never stop 
      Em              Em/F# 
He'll always find the villain 
           Em/G 
That's the nature of the game 
      C 
He'll always be at war 
             D7 
In fact, it's his middle name 
     Em           Em/F# 
He's got a master plan 
            Em/G 
It's called global domination 
  C 
A new world under God 
        D7 
And one massive corporation 
             Em               Em/F# 
He says he's fighting for our safety 
        Em/G 
He's an expert at disguises 
    C 
But security for him 
            D7 
Is when the Dow Jones rises 

Em              Em/F#     Em/G 
I have seen the enemy 
C 
   He's right there in the spotlights 
Em             Em/F#       Em/G        C 
   And if this song were a rifle 
D7                        Em 
   I would have him in my sights

verse 3 
    Em              Em/F# 
And let me tell you something 
     Em/G 
With each ball that he's cuing 
     C 
This old friend of bin Laden 
         D7 
Knows ex-actly what he's doing 
       Em          Em/F# 
It's a family trad-ition 
   Em/G 
To win at any cost 
C 
Never mind the lies 
           D7 
Or all the lives that must be lost 
           Em                 Em/F# 
And let me tell you something else 
     Em/G 
This song is not a gun 
            C 
And it will cause harm to no one 
     D7 
When all is said and done 
                 Em                 Em/F# 
'Cause it's just words, and we need action 
   Em/G 
So let me clearly state 
     C 
This is the time to change the world 
        D7 
Because soon enough may be too late 

Em              Em/F#     Em/G 
I have seen the enemy 
C 
   He's right there in the spotlights 
Em             Em/F#       Em/G        C 
   And if this song were a rifle 
D7                        Em        Em/F#    Em/G     C 
   I would have him in my sights 
D7                        Em 
   I would have him in my sights
