Join The Dots

C Em G

[Verse]
C                      Em        
Piles of bodies on the nightclub 
      G D
floor
C                            Em  
The drugs that arrive from a 
         G D
distant shore
C                     Em
Poppies in fields get torched in a 
war
   G                              
On everything we ever knew before,
C  Em

            G
ever knew before

[Verse]
C                  Em             
Didn't you used to buy this stuff
 G D

C                     Em     
To feed your youth to keep them 
         G D
dazed?
C                     Em
Even as you talk of a war on drugs
    G                           C
The name on the cheque says CIA,
Em     G
says CIA

[Interlude]
C                   Em
Burn the supply and raise the price
       G
On the streets where the votes were 
disallowed
C                            Em
The voice against war is the voice 
of the poor
G                                 
And those that turned their heads 
      C
around

C                      G          
So when you see us laughing it's a
 F              C
 sign of self defense
                   G         
A mirror for the madness that 
     F           C
replaces common sense

[Verse]
C                      Em        
Flags get flown on the way back 
   G D
home
C                               
From the wars that end when the 
Em              G D
whistle's blown
C                   Em
Kit supplied from a factory, sewn
      G                          
For a fraction of the price where 
     C
the rice gets grown

[Interlude]
C         Em           G
Patriotic fervour rests
         Em
Its legs on desperation's back
Bb            D         C
When asked to justify itself
D                           G
It wrapped its silence in a flag
Bb                 F             
The big man cheers for the price 
   C
of a beer
D
The peace distraction brings
Bb                 F              
Away from the news and the darkened 
 C
views
D
As empires spread their wings
