The Ballad Of Aaron Bushnell Written By Nina Snoogans
[Chorus]
B7 E
there are no nonbelievers in the depths of a foxhole
C D
let me light myself on fire
B7 E
B7 E
will i die a martyr or will i go to hell
C D B7
i’ve already seen the worst, done things that i won’t tell
[Verse]
C D B7
i have seen the terrors that lurk under the surface
C D E
while you hold onto what you claim to be your faith
C D C E
i have met the devil he holds a ballpoint pen
B7 E
he signs away the lives of thousands of young men
C D
prescribes me little pills
B7 E
while he signs his little bills
C D
he painted his house white
E
to cover up his lies
C D
landlord special scorch marks
B7 Em
oh, the scorch marks
C D
so let me light myself on fire
B7 Em
for the whole world to see
C D
the police draw their guns
B7 Em
and i fell onto my knees
[Chorus]
C D B7 Em
there are no nonbelievers in the depths of a foxhole
C D
let me light myself on fire
B7
pray the lord will save my soul
C D B7 E
will i die a martyr? will i go to hell?
C D B7
i’ve already seen the worst, done some things that i won’t tell
C D
so i fell down on the steps
B7 E
and with my final breath
C D G Am E
i prayed that we were free
C D G Am E
i prayed that we were free
B7 Em
finally heard my screams
B7 Em
finally i set myself free
B7
died for somethin bigger than you and me
C D G Am E
i fell down on my knees
