Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(verse)

  i got a friend he's a pure bred killing machine

 they said he's waited his whole damn life for this

 i knew him well when he was seventeen

 now he's a man who'll be dead by christmas and

(bridge)

so, everybody's going to war

but we don't know what we're fighting for

they'll tell me its a worthy cause

no cause could be so worthy

(chorus)

If love is a drug I guess we're all sober

 If hope is a song I guess it's all over

how can i have faith if faith is a crime

i don't want to die

If God's on our side, then God is a joker

Asleep on the job, his children fall over

Running out of the door and straight to the sky,

I don't want to die

(verse)

for every man that wants to rule the world

there'll be a man who just wants to be free

why do we learn what should not be learnt

too late to find a cure for this disease

(bridge and chorus as before)

i,i,i

i don't want to die

i don't want to die

i got a friend he's a pure bred killing machine
