[CHORUS 1]
C E F D Cos the rulers always laugh at a video bloodbath C E F G Nothing makes them laugh like a video bloodbath
[VERSE 2]
F Am D E From the first World War to the Yom Kippur it was Beadle's About F Am D E The bayonets slice the rockets roar and he jumps out F Am D E Fond memories of the bloody bridge you failed to hold F Am D E Many of your buddies killed or maimed F Am D E You would have shot at rabbits if that's what you'd been told F Am D E Til the Generals said "I'm sorry, you've been fra--med"
[CHORUS 2]
C E F D Cos the rulers always laugh at a video bloodbath C E F D Nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath Am Em Keep those entries coming, keep those cameras running Am Em Keep those entrails coming, leave those soldiers gunning C E F D Cos you're sure to get a laugh with a video bloodbath C E F G Nothing gets a laugh like a video bloodbath
