American Idle

G#                                     E                    F#
As the tears welled up in my eyes, something hit me that tore me up inside
G#                                    E                            F#               E
Misled, deceived, we all turned out backs on those we should respect and send back home
               F#                       E
This is not a game that anyone should play
                       F#                                  G#
Blood spills on the ground and all our hands are dripping now

   G#                B              E             F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible
      G#           B                                  E                F#
In a time of disarray I wrote it off and said this feeling will fade away
               G#           B            F#
But to my dismay, I still feel responsible
           G#                 B                 E               F#
I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away
              G#
It won't go away

G#                              E               F#                 G#
"In time everything will be alright, he's no better than the other guy"
                      E       F#                     E
Shame on me! The apathetic American they want me to be
              F#                         E
I'm a bad cliche that too many of us portray
                      F#                                  G#
Blood spills on the gound and all our hands are dripping now

   G#                B              E             F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible
      G#           B                                  E                F#
In a time of disarray I wrote it off and said this feeling will fade away
               G#           B            F#

           G#                 B                 E               F#
I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away
              G#
It won't go away

Em                 F#             D#
I won't make the same mistake again
                         G#
I'll learn to speak my mind
      Em         F#              D#
I'm never going down without a fight

   G#                B              E             F#
I can't wipe them clean, I somehow feel responsible

I didn't take my duty seriously and now this feeling won't go away
