Martin Sexton - Sugarcoating

It was a clea^Amr blue day in September In the yea^Cr two thousand and one ^AmEverybody seems to remember ^CVery few know how it was done ^AmJet planes flying into buildings ^FNobody getting in their way ^{C Am}Tall twin towers made of concrete and steel Coming down l^Cike paper Mache ^G And I won^Dmder why Nobo^Fdy wonders why ^G

With all this sweet^C, sweet, sweet sugarcoating The nightly news gone entertainment biz ^Am And the polit^Cicians out showboating ^F One day^C somebody tell it like^G it is ^C

We went a huntin^Am' for those old evil doers Down in old Af^Cghanistan ^EmThen we los^Amt the track and headed back to Iraq With our sight^Cs set on Iran Through the desert r^Amuns a money trail We kill and die fo^Cr to defend Oh from the banks t^Amo the bankers to the tanks to the tankers It's a w^Car that knows no end ^G And no wond^Dmer why Very few^F wonder why ^G

With all this sweet^C, sweet, sweet sugarcoating The nightly news gone entertainment biz ^{Am C}Oh big business out showboatin ^F Won't some^Cbody tell it li^Gke it is ^G

Oh wh^Fo knows a truth (And ^Cnot afraid to tell it) This so^Fng is for you ^Am

Maybe if we talk we^Am're just dead men walking But if we're silen^Ct we're living like slaves But if we foll^Amow where we lead and we're eaten what we're fed C G Then ^Dmwe might as we^Fll be sleepin^Gg in our grave

With all this sweet^C, sweet, sweet sugarcoating The nightly news gone entertainment biz ^{Am C}Everybody out showboating ^F Somebody^C wanna tell it lik^Ge it is ^C Oh somebody's^C gonna tell it like ^Git is ^C C G F I believe someb^Cody's gonna tell it like it is
