E A E A E A E A
Over the ashes of blood marched the civilized soldiers,
C#m A B7
over the ruins of the French fortress of a failure
E A E A G#m A
over the silent screams of the dead and the dying
but please be reassured, we seek no wider war.
E A E A E A E A
The treaties were signed, the country was split into sections
C#m A B7
but growing numbers of prisons were built for protection
E A E A G#m A
rapidly filling with people who called for elections
E A E A D A E A E A
But please be reassured, we seek no wider war.
E A E A E A E A
Ngo Dinh Diem was the puppet who danced for the power
C#m A B7
The hero of hate who gambled on hell for his hour
E A E A G#m A
Father of his country was stamped on the medals we showered
E A E A D A E A E A
but please be reassured, we seek no wider war.

Machine gun bullets became the bloody baptizers
C#m A B7
and the falcon 'copters don't care if someone's the wiser
E A E A G#m A
but the boy in the swamp didn't know he was killed by advisers
E A E A D A E A E A
So please be reassured, we seek no wider war.
E A E A E A E A
And fires were spitting at forests in defoliation
C#m A B7
while the people were pressed into camps not called concentration
E A E A G#m A
and the greater the victory the greater the shame of the nation
E A E A D A E A E A
but please be reassured, we seek no wider war.
E A E A E A E A
While we were watching the prisoners were tested by torture
C#m A B7
and vicious and vomiting gases maintained the order
E A E A G#m A
as the finest Washington minds found slogans for slaughter
E A E A D A E A E A
but please be reassured, we seek no wider war.
E A E A E A E A
Then over the border came the Bay of Pigs planes of persuasion
C#m A B7
All remaining honor went up in flames of invasion
E A E A G#m A
But who'll tell the bodies of children it's not escalation?
E A E A D A E A E A
But please be reassured, we seek no wider war.
E A E A E A E A
We're teaching people freedom for which they are yearning
C#m A B7
While were dragging them down to the path of never returning
E A E A G#m A
But we'll condescend to talk while the cities are burning
E A E A D A E A E A
But please be reassured, we seek no wider war.
E A E A E A E A
And the evil is done in hopes that evil surrenders
C#m A B7
but the deeds of the devil are burned too deep in the embers
E A E A G#m A
and a world of hunger in vengeance will always remember
E A E A D A E A E A
So please be reassured, we seek no wider war, we seek no wider war.
