The rocket's red glare

Bombs bursting in air

Give proof through the night

The Restless Consumer

C#m
A
The people have heard the news The people have spoken You may not like what they said But they weren't jokin' Way out on the desert sands Lies a desperate lover They call her "Queen of Oil" So much to discover Don't need no ad machine Telling me what I need Don't need no Madison Avenue War Don't need no more boxes I can't see Covered in flags but I can't see them on TV Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies
E
B
The restless consumer flies
D
C#m
Around the world each day
E
B
D
With such an appetite for taste
C#m
And grace People from around the world Need someone to listen We're starving and dying from our disease We need your medicine How do you pay for war And leave us dyin'? When you could do so much more You're not even tryin' Don't need to TV ad Tellin' me how sick I am Don't want to know how many people are like me Don't need no dizziness Don't need no nausea Don't need no side effects like diarrhea or sexual death Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies The restless consumer lies Asleep in her hotel With such an appetite For anything that sells
INSTRUMENTAL (VERSE CHORDS)
A hundred voices from a hundred lands Need someone to listen People are dying here and there They don't see the world the way you do There's no mission accomplished here Just death to thousands A hundred voices from a hundred lands Cry out in unison Don't need no terror squad Don't want to damned Jihad Blowin' themselves away in my hood But we don't talk to them So we don't learn from them Hate don't negotiate with Good Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies Don't need no more lies The restless consumer flies Around the world each day With such an appetite for efficiency And pace Don't need no more lies

Back in the days of shock and awe Back in the days of "mission accomplished" Our chief was landing on the deck The sun was setting on a golden photo op Back in the days of "mission accomplished" Thousands of bodies in the ground Brought home in a boxes to a trumpet's sound No one sees them coming home that way Thousands buried in the ground
INTRO
Thousands of children scarred for life Millions of tears for a soldier's wife Both sides losing now Heaven takes them in Thousands of children scarred for life We had a chance to change our mind But somehow wisdom was hard to find We went with what we knew an now we can't go back But we had a chance to change our mind

And families When you write your songs about us Won't you try to do us justice Because we want to be just like you And your families I see a light ahead There's a chill wind blowin' in my head I wish that I was home instead With my family There's a universe between us now But I want to reach out and tell you how Much you mean to me And my family I'm goin' back to the USA I just got my ticket today I can't wait to see you again In the USA

These must be the flags of freedom flyin' Church bells are ringin' As the families stand and wave Some of them are cryin' But the soldiers look so brave Lookin' straight ahead Like they know just where they're goin' Past the flags of freedom flyin' Sister has her headphones on She hears the music blasting She sees her brother marchin' by Their bond is everlasting Listening to Bob Dylan singin' In 1963 Watching the flags of freedom flyin' She sees the president speakin' On a Flat-screen TV In the window of the old appliance store She turns to see her brother again But he's already walkin' past The flags of freedom flyin'

Let's Impeach The President

Let's impeach the president for lyin'
E
F#m
A
And misleading our country into war
E
A
Abusing all the power that we gave him
E
A
And shipping all our money out the door Who's the man who hired all the criminals The white house shadows who hide behind closed doors And bend the facts to fit with their new story Of why we have to send our men to war Let's impeach the president for spyin' On citizens inside their own homes Breaking every law in the country By tapping our computers and telephones What if Al Quaeda blew up the levees Would New Orleans have been safer that way? Sheltered by the government's protection Or was someone just not home that day?
flip / flop-part (same chords)
Let's impeach the president for hijacking Our religion and using it to get elected Dividing our country into colors And still leaving black people neglected Thank GOD he's crackin' down on steroids Since he sold his old baseball team There's lot's of people lookin' at big trouble But of course the president is clean

And make our country strong Walkin' among our people There's someone who's straight and strong To lead us from desolation And a broken world gone wrong Someone walks among us And I hope he hears the call And maybe it's a woman Or a black man after all Yeah maybe it's Obama But he thinks that he's too young Maybe it's Colin Powell To right what he's done wrong America has a leader But he's not in the house He's walkin' here among us And we've got to seek him out Yeah we've got our election But Corruption has a chance We got to have a clean win To regain confidence America is beautiful But she has an ugly side We're lookin' for a leader In this country far and wide We're lookin' for a leader With the Great Spirit on his side Someone walks among us And I hope he hears the call And maybe it's a woman Or a black man after all

Trippin' down that old hippie highway Got thinkin' 'bout you again Wonderin' how it really was for you And how it happened in the end But I guess I'll never know the truth If you were really all alone We were just a couple of kids then Livin' each and every day When we both went down to register We were laughin' all the way That's when we named it Hippie Highway I still call it that today

America The Beautiful

<Samuel A. Ward>
O beautiful for spacious skies For amber waves of grain For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!
