Em Riff 1 Em Riff 1
Imperial bodybags, coming home in dribs and drabs
D Riff 2 C Riff 3
Life is numbers, with doggy tags
Em Riff 1
Filled with holes and coming back

Em
So come on up the sky
Em
Never had a chance to wave goodbye
D C
From where and unhappy
Em
Driven by hypocracy


D Am
Nothing's finished it just fades away
C G
Like a lover who has lost her faith
D Am
Nothing's finished it just fades away
C
Fades away

G D
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
F C Riff 4
Children wrapped in home-made flags
G D
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
F C Riff 4
Children wrapped in home-made flags

And here we love the kids
We're still human like everyone else
Average withdrawn stuck in school
Always willing to stick by the rules

Nothing's finished it just fades away
Like a lover who has lost her faith
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Fades away
Fades away

Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in homemade flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in homemade flags

Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in homemade flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposible
Children wrapped in homemade flags
