[Verse 1]
E
Well we're looking at the cover,
E
We're spending all our time
E
Just staring at the magazine


[Verse 2]
E
Well, look who's on the cover,
E
wasting all our time
E
some pseudo-fascist hero-machine


[Verse 3]
E
Well, that's no space for a human being
E
That man is not a hero or saint.
E
When somewhere in deepest America,
E
Grown men weep at the sound of his name
E
So it goes, and it goes


[Chorus]
E                   A  E
All the girls named Gloria
A            D      E
Sing sweetly out of key.
E                   A      E
The sun rose in the west today,
    A            D           E
accidents in the land of the free, yeah


[Verse 4]
E
Well I grew up where they showed you the body count
E
In color on your dinner TV
E
And I've been numbed so insensitive
E
That all I can think about is You and Me
E
You know, children from the best homes
E
They all have guns n' butter
E
They have their share of murder blue
E
Well it's not such a wiggy-awesome good time
E
When the shopping-mall militia point their cannons at you..
E
So it goes..


[Chorus]
E                   A  E
All the girls named Gloria
A            D      E
Sing sweetly out of key.
E                   A      E
The sun rose in the west today,
    A            D           E
accidents in the land of the free
E                           A       E
I love this world harder in my imagination
     A             D        E
Than my conscience should allow
E                        A              E
But accidents do happen, accidents will happen
         A        D      E
Don't you dare to ask me how.


[Instrumental]
E  A  E  A  D  E   x2


[Verse 5]
E
Now everyone believes in
E
The stories about the Cadillacs
E
Everybody's got enough to eat
E
And people always keep their eyes glued to the ground
E
When desperate men, he's gotta cling to the streets
E
And I swear, "Myself, I will help them. I will be an upstanding man."
E
Well, when I walk by and I hear them cry
E
That money just sticks to my hand
E
What's wrong with me?


[Chorus]
E                   A  E
All the girls named Gloria
A            D      E
Sing sweetly out of key.
E                   A      E
The sun rose in the west today,
    A            D           E
accidents in the land of the free
E                           A       E
I love this world harder in my imagination
     A             D        E
Than my conscience should allow
E                        A              E
But accidents do happen, accidents will happen
          A       D      E
Don't you dare to ask me how.


[Outro]
E
On and on it goes
E                   A  E
All the girls named Gloria
A            D      E
Sing sweetly out of key.
E                   A      E
The sun rose in the west today,
    A            D           E
accidents in the land of the free
