D
Bm G
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
D A
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
Bm G
You can't clear one before another reloads
D A
To ratchet up the ante again.
Bm
They're cheap and they're simple
G
They're green and black
D A
They'll take you right down on a one way track
Bm G
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
D A
And we still won't stop this train
Bm G D A
Footfall of a soldier
Bm G D A
Footfall of a child
Bm G D A
They don't know the difference
Bm G A
They're blind and mean and wild
Bm G
100 Million and the wheel go round
D A
Lunch in Geneova and the deals go done
Bm G
We'll still have to fight a century from now
D A
The battle's of a long long war
Bm G
What do you with what's left behind
D A
What can you grow in the fields of mine
Bm G D
What do you do when that's all you find you got
A
When you get back home
Bm G D A
They're only made for terror
Bm G D
They don't care who they harm,
Bm G D A
Three dollars each to make em
Bm G A
1000 to disarm
Bm G
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
D A
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
Bm G
You can't clear one before another reloads
D A
To ratchet up the ante again.
Bm
They're cheap and they're simple
G
They're green and black
D A
They'll take you right down on a one way track
Bm G
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
D A
And we still won't turn around
SOLO
Bm G
100 million still in the ground
D A
Lunch in Geneova and the deals go down
Bm G
They'll still have to fight a century from now
D A
Battle of a long time war
Bm G D A
From China to Angolia
Bm G D
Cambodia where they laid
Bm G D A
With chips from Motorola
Bm G A
Made in the USA.
Bm G
Three dollar bombs a 100 thousand more
D A
Steps of a child and the ground explodes
Bm G
You can't clear one before another reloads
D A
To ratchet up the ante again.
Bm
They're cheap and they're simple
G
They're green and black
D A
They'll take you right down on a one way track
Bm G
We've gone so far now that we can't get back
D A
And we still won't stop this train
