The Kids Are Ready To Die (acoustic)

C F All these inanimate places feel like they're changing C G The kids all lined up on the wall like they're ready to die C F These arms are sending it's like they just rearrange them C G We were caged up like animals, questioned and ready to cry C F Cause I was just 13 when I got my first take of danger C G Standing by the church, I had a bottle and a pen in my hand C Am Oh I said "Father, I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do with this anger" Dm G This behavior is correctable, I know this wasn't part of your plan C F But little fucks like us, we were always receiving instruction C G And you could burn off our clothes, you could wash out the ink and the dye C F But you can't look me in the eye and say you don't feel like a little destruction Am G C And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die Am G C And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die C F All these days just seem like they're getting longer C G The view from our room is a gloomy and overcast grey C F The weakness we left behind seems to be getting stronger C G I swear there's something in the air, and I don't know what anyone could say C F Cause I saw the news this morning, there was another C G Boy by the side of the road, he had a gun in his hand C Am I thought "What could you say to make it ever make sense to his mother?" Dm G Oh ma'am, he was excitable, we were just trying to make him a man C F But the day will come when it falls like a cheap house of plastic C G And the cards that were dealt, will be tossed like a storm in the sky C F Cause you can only lie so long before you get something drastic Am G C And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die Am G C And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die
