[Verse 1]
E                                  EWrapped up in the loving arms of a war
E                        EWhat industry is worth dying for
E               E                 E               EIt's all a race to the top of the pantheon in the time we've got

[Verse 2]
E               EBuilt a wall to keep us clean
          E                    EWhere the skin is fair and the grass is green
B                   BThree car garage, a house by the sea
   A                      A         ATo keep out all those who disagree

[Chorus]
       C#mBarbed wire killed the buffalo
A                    BTelephone killed the radio
C#m                               A  BWe're killing the time before our turn
C#m                           A             BIt keeps out, it keeps in the devil's rope against my skin
C#m                                      A  BSpits fire until there's nothing left to burn

[Verse 3]
E             ECold blood go figure
         E                          EFrom the man behind the desk to the one behind the trigger
        E                 EThere's silent anguish in every language
   E                      EIt all sounds the same no matter what day its
B                BI can remember a world without fear
  A                      A                    ABefore I heard the clock ticking in my ear

[Chorus]
