[slow part]
Bm Oh! Oliver Boy what did you do? Bm But crush the hand you never shook Bm Bm Then rob the rights of people to be free Bm Oh! Oliver Boy it's a terrible state Bm You left behind a worse off race Bm Bm Where dignity and pride fought for their place G Bm Oh! Oliver Boy now you are gone Bm Bm And we're still here where we belong Bm Bm Forgiveness being our strength you'll never see
[slow part over]
Bm Now the sun shines on this page I write Bm Though it's raining hard in Palestine Bm No lands are promised lands Bm When will we see? [Bm] So don't tell me that your God's my God Bm I don't think they even care at all Bm Bm Just a pantomime behind a curtain lies de-ceit G Bm Oh listen to me bark out loud Bm Bm With-out a voice and little growl G Bm Snapping at the heels I wait Bm For something more to change
Dm [fades directly into Chorus]
The more they stay the same
[Chorus 1]
Bm Oliver Boy! It's the same militia E Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different C Oliver Boy! It's the same old story E Bm Where there's blood there's death not glory Bm Look into these empty eyes Bm Fed upon by parasites Bm Bm As beauty's ugly head devours its plight [Bm] While the borders of our hate create Bm Nothing more than each our fate Bm Bm Trapped between our comfort and our crime G Bm So stand along the graveyard wall Bm Bm And watch the souls per-form their song G Bm Sing to us the dead above Bm As the mourners come to pray Bm The living stay away
[Chorus 2]
Bm Oliver Boy! It's the same militia E Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different C Oliver Boy! It's the same old story E Where there's blood there's death not glory Bm Oliver Boy! We're all someone's sons E All of our Boys! Just put down the guns C Oliver Boy! You're dead but listen E Bm You were wrong but we're no diffe-rent
[Solo - not figured out]
Bm E Marching to the left, everyone in step Bm C E Don't ask the question, why we're here with no direction Bm E Marching to the right, this is not our fight Bm C E The curse of friction, born of man and contradiction
[Chorus 2]
Bm
All of our Boys![slow part]
Bm Now the sun shines on this page I write Bm E Bm Though it's raining hard in Pales-tine
Enjoy!
