[Verse]
A      Bm                  A     
A man stands up before his God 
  Bm   Bm
and country
A          Bm              A     
Raises his right hand and takes 
  Bm  Bm
an oath
A             Bm            A    
Swears he has acted in the line 
  Bm   Bm
of duty
A            Bm                A
And he more than anyone wants to
        Bm   Bm
 tell the truth

[Chorus]
G                         
But there is a need to keep 
    Bm          A
somethings a secret
G                             Bm 
Some weapons shipments, some 
      A
private wars
G                             
In the future democracy will be 
Bm          A
defended
A           Bm    Bm
Behind closed doors

[Verse]
A            Bm                  
Now the men of Congress who 
A       Bm   Bm
convene to determine
A      Bm                  A     
If covert war is a business or a 
  Bm   Bm
crime
A      Bm                        
Are the same men who routinely 
A       Bm   Bm
give their permission
A      Bm                 
For the shedding of blood in 
   A       Bm   Bm
security's name

[Chorus]
G                             Bm 
And there is a need to keep some 
          A
things a secret

G                             Bm 
The names of some countries, the 
         A
terms of some deals
G                             
And above all the sound of the 
Bm          A
screams of the innocent
A           Bm  Bm    A  Bm  Bm
Beneath our wheels

[Bridge]
G#m
Does the word justice mean anything 
to you?
E                           F#m
Are the features of a lie beginning 
to come through?

[Verse]
A            Bm            
In the streets of America the 
      A       Bm   Bm
children are buried
A            Bm                  
Caught in an avalanche of weapons
A       Bm   Bm
 and drugs
A            Bm                  
They live and they die in the 
A       Bm   Bm
bowels of a business
A            Bm                  
That disguised as a war between 
A       Bm   Bm
The Crips and The Bloods

[Chorus]
G                             Bm 
And there is a need to keep some 
          A
things a secret
G                        Bm  
The C.I.A. deals protecting the 
         A
source
G                                 
And the government policies 
     Bm   A
directly connecting
A           Bm  Bm    A  Bm  Bm
The drugs and our wars

[Bridge]
G#m
Does the word justice mean anything

E                           F#m
As the battlefield comes home and 
democracy falls through

[Verse]
D             G       C       D
I am waiting for the time to come
D                   G       
When the word will be real for 
C          D
everyone
D                    G           
And not just a word but a thing 
C          Bm
that can be done
G   A Bm
Justice must be won
