A Brief Lesson In Repetition

G

[Verse]

G                                       C
If you don’t like it you don’t have to stay
                             G
(With our backs against the wall)
                               C
So says the man who acts like every day is Christmas day
G                                        C
If you want to speak you better tow the line
                           G
Forget ideals there isn’t time to waste
                               C
It’s simply too late when you have the whole world to rule
Em          C                      G
And oh how you love to serve your crown (blindly defended)
Em                 C            G
You can’t let the stock market down
G
(Because you can’t afford it)
Em          C                       G
And in the end when they’re wrong again (they'll rewrite history)
Em        C            D
And try again to lie again (to make us look like saviors)

[Chorus]

G
Bombs away
                                 D
A country that was founded on democracy
                              Em
Learns a lesson from its own history
   D             C
Repeats itself again and again and again and again
G
Yeah you’re right
                                    D
The grass is always greener on the other side
                            Em
So if my criticism shows a lack of pride
D                    C
Cover your ears and shield your eyes

[Interlude]

G C (x8)

[Chorus]

G
Bombs away
N.C.
A country that was founded on democracy
                              Em
Learns a lesson from its own history
   D             C
Repeats itself again and again and again and again
G
Bombs away
                                 D
A country that was founded on democracy
                              Em
Learns a lesson from its own history
   D             C
Repeats itself again and again and again and again
G
Yeah you’re right
                                    D
The grass is always greener on the other side
                            Em
So if my criticism shows a lack of pride
D                    C
Cover your ears and shield your eyes
G
Yeah you’re right
                                    D
The grass is always greener on the other side
                            Em
So if my criticism shows a lack of pride
D                    C
Cover your ears and shield your eyes

[Outro]

               G
What have I become
               C
What have I become
               G
What have I become
               C
What have I become
G                             C
If I back myself against the wall
                         G
I always heed the siren call
                                  C
If these are all the things I’ve done
              G
What have I become
