[Verse 1]
Am                C
Kill for gain, or shoot to maim

    G               D
But we don't need a reason

    Am              C
The golden goose is on the loose

    G            D
And never out of season

Am                    C
Blackened pride still burns inside

     G               D
This shell of bloody treason

Am                  C
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun

        G              D
For the love of living death
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C   C/B
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed

    F            Bb           C  G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain

Am        Fmaj7           A7sus4    C    C/B
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain

F                     Bb      E
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?
[Chorus]
Am G Am       C  G
2  minutes to midnight

    Dm                  F   G
The hands that threaten doo-oom

Am G Am       C  G
2  minutes to midnight

   Dm                     F  G
To kill the unborn in the wo-omb
[Verse 2]
    Am                       C
The blind men shout "Let the creatures out

      G            D
We'll show the unbelievers"

    Am                C
The napalm screams of human flames

     G                 D
Of a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!

       Am                                C
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy

           G                           D
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C   C/B
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed

    F            Bb           C  G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain

Am        Fmaj7           A7sus4    C    C/B
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain

F                     Bb      E
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?

[Verse 3]
    Am            C              G                D
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two

        Am                      C                     G               D
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you

       Am             C                     G              D
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song

       Am               C                  G              D
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun
[Pre-Chorus]
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C   C/B
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed

    F            Bb           C  G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain

Am        Fmaj7           A7sus4    C    C/B
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain

F                     Bb      E
