[Intro]
| C | G | C*** F* | C |
 
[Verse 1]
C G C C
Mister, how you making all your money,
F G C C
tell me, what's the reason for this war?
F C E7 Am
You've bombed another country and left its people hungry
Dm Dm G G7
where I doubt that things where quite so bad before.
 
[Verse 2]
C G C C
Mister, what you make of all these rebels
F G C C
in the deserts, fighting in the sand,
F C E7 Am
with guns from South Dakota and trucks made by Toyota?
Dm Dm G G7
One wonders how such things posses their hand?
 
[Chorus]
F F C C
Don't say I'm wrong, please, don't make lies,
E7 E7 Am Am
don't tell me everything's alright.
Dm Dm C D
When your profit's in the billions but they've got no hope in sight
Dm Dm G
and a death toll in the millions, Mister, tell me...
G C G C** F** C
How do you sleep at night?
 
[Verse 3]
C G C C
Mister, why you send that fleeing family
F G C C
in squalor to wherever you see fit?
F C E7 Am
When it's in your manifesto to stop them begging outside Tesco,
Dm Dm G G7
do you not think this makes you a hypocrite?
 
[Verse 4]
C G C C
Mister, where's the place that they call home now?
F G C C
Tell me when these people will be free.
F C E7 Am
You've rolled in with your tanks and now you've set up all your banks.
Dm Dm G G7
It's thanks to you they're labelled refugees.
 
[Chorus]
F F C C
Don't say I'm wrong, please, don't make lies,
E7 E7 Am Am
don't tell me everything's alright.
Dm Dm C D
When your profit's in the billions but they've got no hope in sight
Dm Dm G
and a death toll in the millions, Mister, tell me...
G C G C** F** C
How do you sleep at night?
 
[Interlude]
| C | G | C** F** | C |
| F | G | C | C |
| F | C | E7 | Am |
| Dm | Dm | G | G7 |
 
[Verse 5]
C G C C
I'm not saying everybody's perfect,
F G C C
I'm not saying everybody's good.
F C E7 Am
But if people stop the lying and a ceasefire stops the dying
Dm Dm G G7
we could save the right from drowning in the mud.
C G C** G* F* C* C*
But, mister, I doubt you've understood.
