Verse:
Am
A day with no glory
A heart filled with fear
Em
Repeating his story to make ourselves clear
Am
A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills
Em
Your king in his castle never died on these fields
Am
There’s blood on your hands, a smile on your face
Em
Wicked intention, there’s money to be made
Am
A room with no windows and a heart that can’t feel
Em
Shame with no convictions and a view to a kill
Chorus:
C Am
Tell me why, why must we fight
Em G
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
C
And no more
Am
No war
Em G
‘Cause how Do you know?
Verse:
Am
The hate in your eyes
The lies on your tongue
Em
A hand that kills the innocent, so quick to Do wrong
Am
The belly is full while we fight for what remains
Em
The rich getting richer while the poor become slaves
Am
We kill our own brothers, the truth is never told
Em
If victory is freedom, then the truth is untold
Am
Surrender your soldiers like everyone else
Em
If love is my religion, don’t speak for myself
Chorus:
C Am
Tell me why, why must we fight
Em G
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
C
And no more
Am
No war
Em G
‘Cause how Do you know?
Bridge:
C Am
And how Do you know?
Em G
And how Do you know?
C Am
And how Do you know?
Em G
And how Do you know?
Chorus:
C Am
Please tell me why, why must we fight
Em G
Why must we kill in the name of what we think is right
C
And no more
Am
No war
Em G
‘Cause how Do you know?
C
I’m living this life,
Am
I’m given these lies
Em G
And how Do I die in the name of what you think is right?
C
And no more
Am
Oh Lord
Em G
‘Cause how Do we know?
C
And how Do we know?
