Go back and help his brother

Open your mind

War is over if you want it

                           Fmaj7
If you don't then that's alright

          C
I saw the man who made a war

C
With his right hand blown apart

        Dm
Throw a stick at a machine

Dm
It was his final work of art

Fmaj7
Seated bleeding out

    G
His kneecap taken off

               Am
And that's the story of the whole world
N.C. I can't seem to make it stop
