G D Did you give it away?
G D Em Did you give it away for free?
B11 Don't you give it away
Em B11 C Let's try to keep it in the family
G I know you know desolation
C G D Coming home with your pockets
C full of sand
G I know it's no vacation
C G Now you're plowing your tiny
D C patch of land
D G In a nation under your command [Verse]

C Em That depends on your depth and
D C density
G What about inflation? Oh

[Verse]
G D Would you hide in the hay?
G D Em Would you hide in the hay with me?
B11 Won't you hide in the hay?
Em Where it's dark and you can
B11 C scarcely breathe or see
G Assured asphyxiation
C G Where the foxes and field mice
D C make their dens
G Death by association
C G I swore I'd never take anyone
D C there again To this nation
D Em A nation under your command [Other]
B11 C this nation, a nation under
D Em your command
B11 C this nation, a nation under
D G your command
