D            Am
Maggie was in war

D                   Am
Break her barn, back door

D                        Am
When the water rushed and poured

D                     Am
Took the relatives she stored

D                       Am
So the Father, Ghost and Lord

D                  Am
Took the revelation stored
[Chorus]
       C              G         Am
It's a waste of money spent and given

       C                 G         Am
It's a waste of what was meant, forgiven

         C                   G       Am
And your children burn their backs in bed

       C                  G         Am
It's a waste of what your kids won't have
[Instrumental] D Am x2 [Verse 2]
D                    Am
When the man took his gun

D                      Am
Put it on your youngest one

D                        Am
Took the curtains off the glass

D                           Am
Took the virgin for what she has
[Chorus]
       C              G         Am
It's a waste of money spent and given

       C                 G         Am
It's a waste of what was meant, forgiven

         C                   G       Am
And your children burn their backs in bed

       C                  G         Am
It's a waste of what your kids won't have

       C                  G         Am
It's a waste of what your kids won't have

       C                  G         Am      D
It's a waste of what your kids won't have
