Your Flag Wont Save You Anymore

[Verse]
    Em
The time has come for real life
   C               G
To kick you in the teeth
         C                 G
With the fury of a million bombs
   D             C
On gridlock underneath
    Em
The words that warn are left to chance
C               G
Drifting in the breeze
       C                G
With a mess of dinosaur bones
     D              C
From faceless factories


[Chorus]
     Am                     Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
         C          G
Keep the ocean from rising up and
D
Washing away the shore
         Em               G
Keep the sun from bearing down upon
    D                 C
The heads of the idle poor
     C          G        D   Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
     C          G        D   Am
Your flag won’t save you anymore


[Verse]

    Em
The time has come for a wake up call
             C             G
But you’re addicted to the dream
      C                    G
Of convenience - right and wrong
      D             C
And a full blown enemy
Em
Down on four and dead to rights
   C           G
No hero in the wings
    C                G
No electric starring role
       D               C
In the modern sport of kings


[Chorus]
     Am                     Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
         C               G
Keep the baying mob from rioting
       D
On the winding road to war
         Em                 G
Keep the blood from raining down upon
    D                  C
The heads of the riled poor
     C          G        D   Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
     C          G        D   D/Eb
Your flag won’t save you anymore

[Verse]
    Em
The time has gone to make it right
    C               G
The fallout and the tears
          C                G
There’s a reckoning coming on

     D                  C
With blood stained souvenirs


[Chorus]
     Am                     Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
         C               G
Keep the plutocrats from lining up
   D
To harvest away the core
     Em                 G
Of a world hell bent on going out
       D               C
With a whimper - not a roar
     C          G        D   Am
Your flag won’t save you anymore
     C          G        D
Your flag won’t save you anymore
