Intro: Em

            C
You've got the mouth of a she wolf
                  Am
Inside the mask of an innocent lamb
                      Em
You say your heart is all compassion
                           Dsus2/F#              G
But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram

              Am                                   C
Yet you always made a profit baby
                                           Em
If it was a famine or a feast

                    C
Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,
          Am
I was cursed with x-ray vision,
            Em
I could see right through all the lies you told,
                 Dsus2/F#              G
When you smiled for the television

                      Am                           C
And you can see the coming battle
                                                        Em
You pray the drums will never cease
                      Am                                  C
And you may win this war that's coming
                                                    Em
But would you tolerate the peace?

                D        G    C    Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
D
Investing in munitions
                  G
And those little cotton flags
               C
Invest in wooden caskets
                    Am                                            G Em
In guns and body bags, guns and body bags

         C
Your daddy was a businessman
            Am
And it always made good sense
                       Em
You know the war can make you rich my friend
     Dsus2/F#                  G
In dollars, pounds and cents

            Am                                   C
In the temple that was Mammon's
                                                       Em
You were ordained the parish priest
                  Am                                C
Yes you may win this coming battle
                                                    Em
But could you tolerate the peace?

                 D      G    C    Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
                 D      G    C    Am
OoHooHoooooHoooHoooooo
   D
Invest in deadly weapons
                  G
And those little cotton flags
                C
Invest in wooden caskets
                    Am
In guns and body bags
            D
You're invested in oppression
               G
Investing in corruption
                        C
Invest in every tyranny
                                           Am      G  Em
And the whole world's destruction

   G                           Em
I imagine there's a future
                     G                        Em
When all the earthly wars are over
               G                           Em
You may find yourself just standing there
            G                     Em
On the white cliffs of Dover

               G                          Em
You may ask, what does it profit a man
                    G                                        Em
To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
                   G                                Em
Is that your body you see on the rocks below
            G                     Em
As the tide begins to roll?
