[Intro] C#m A
B
"What are you talking about? America is not going to be destroyed."

C#m  A     B
    "Never?

 C#m                       A               B
Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed

C#m                          A       B
All great countries are destroyed, why not yours?

B                                     C#            A
How much longer do you think your own country will last?

C#    A
Forever?"
C#m A C#m A C#m A C#m A [Verse 1]
F#m                             C#m A C#m A
Block the entrances, close the doors

F#m                             C#m A C#m A
Seal the exits because this is war

F#m                      A
All gave some, some gave all

        B
But for what? I want to know
[Chorus]
C#m   A               B
Carry on, don't mind me

       F#m
All I gave was everything

C#m         A           B
And yet you ask me for more

C#m         A                  B
Fought your fight, bought your lie

       F#m              A
And in return I lost my life

                   B
What purpose does this serve?
C#m A C#m A C#m A C#m A [Verse 2]
F#m                      C#m A C#m A
A folded flag, a purple heart

F#m                      C#m A C#m A
A family all but torn a part

F#m                       A
I fought with courage to preserve

         B
Not my way of life, but yours
[Chorus]
C#m   A               B
Carry on, don't mind me

       F#m
All I gave was everything

C#m         A           B
And yet you ask me for more

C#m         A                  B
Fought your fight, bought your lie

       F#m              A
And in return I lost my life

                   B
What purpose does this serve?
[Bridge] C#m C#m E B F#m G#m C#m C#m E B F#m G#m
C#m
The cowards preach from pedestals

C#m
With words like "courage" and "resolve"

E                        B
But what they meant was "Fuck them all"

        F#m           G#m
Because freedom isn't free

C#m
They send our daughters and our sons

C#m
To deserts under burning suns

E              B
A sacrificial slaughtering

   F#m               G#m   A
To fill the pockets of the weak

A             F#m    G#m               A    B
An artificial enemy, are we so easily deceived?
[Intrerlude] C#m A B C#m A B C#m A B C#m A B [Chorus]
C#m         A             B
Don't carry on, just walk away

          F#m               C#m
How many more sent to their graves?

        A      B
In this lesson ignored

C#m            A
I fought your fight

             B
Bought your lie

       F#m              A
And in return I lost my life

                       B
What purpose does this serve?

A                B
What purpose did I serve?
C#m
