[Verse 1]
  Am                 F
Endangered species, caged in fright,

     D                  G         E
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight,

     Am                F
The stage is set, now pay the price,

   D           G           E
An ego boost, don't think twice.

   Am           F
Technology, the battle's unfair,

    D                 G        E
You pull the hammer without a care.

 Am                       F
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man.

 D                  G       E
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned...

[Pre-Chorus]

All are gone all but one.

No more left only one.

Am                   F
Tell the truth, you wouldn't dare.

    D                G     E
The skin and trophy, oh so rare.

Am                F
Silence speaks louder than words.

  D                    G         E
Ignore the guilt, and take your turn.

Am                F
Liars anagram is "lairs,"

D                  G     E
Man you were never even there.

Am                  F
Killed a few feet from the cages,

D                    G     E
Point blank, you are so courageous...

[Pre-Chorus]
  Am           F        G                G#   F   E     Am

One hour from now, another species of life form

will disappear off the face of the planet,
