[Intro]
A Am Em D Bm C G
Verse 1:
Am Em From the comfort zone of history G D On the lips of trusted loved ones Bm C G To the wounded, fragile minds of angry youths Am Em No sooner was it over G D Than the memory made it nobler Bm C G The selective means by which to point the view
[Chorus]
Am Em D Compelled, but not defeated Am Em D Surrender under protest if you must Am Em D Compelled, but not defeated
A Am Em D Bm C G
[Verse 2]
Am Em If it's all you can remember G D Then it's been that way forever Bm C G And for six long generations it's been told Am Em But-among-the fallen was tradition G D That tradition was the mission Bm C G And that the wrongness of the sin was not the goal
[Chorus]
Am Em D Compelled, but not defeated Am Em D Surrender under protest if you must Am Em D Compelled, but not defeated
A Em D A
[Verse 3]
Am Em Does the color really matter? Am Em On the face you blame for failure G D A On the shamin' for a battle's losing cause Am Em If the victims and aggressors Am Em Just remain each others others G D A And the instigators never fight their own
A Am Em D Bm C G
[Chorus]
Am Em D Compelled, but not defeated Am Em D Surrender under protest if you must Am Em D Compelled, but not defeated Am Em D Surrender under protest if you must Am Em D Surrender under protest if you must
C G D
