The Airborne Toxic Event - The winning side

^CWell I admit to the mistakes At least privately in takes And he^Fre's another one ^CI said "we'd be okay" "But that's a lie, man" I mean.. &q^Fuot;Hey, we're all dying.. young!!" ^CIt's no worse off than it seems.. but it's more like a terrifying dream And I'm ^Fserious!! It's eit^Cher whiskey, or a bong, or a car crash, or a bomb I'm se^Frious!!

It's the^G only thing I think When I ^Amwake up in my bed When my^G stomach churns, as these^Am pages turn Is the w^Forld burnin' Or is it only.. in my ^Ghead?

On a scre^Cen on a TV On a scene in front of me With all the w^Fhite noise n the static And the stifling of the screams This is ^Cwar, this is death, this is real you better bet! On the w^Finning side, the winning side, The winning side, the winning side

And I'm ^Csittin' in a train Over Brooklyn in the rain All by m^Fyself ^CWhen a thought occurs to me.. That all these people wanna be Just so^Fmewhere.. else Like eve^Cry day is just a loss, spent arguing with your boss Over a c^Foffee break Oh and t^Che same is true for me, I mean, one more indignity And I’m^F going to break

Because the o^Gnly thing I think when he w^Amalks out on the screen He says, “The^G sky falls, and you^Amr duty calls” Man it ^Ftakes some balls to be so obsc^Gene

On a s^Ccreen on a TV On a scene in front of me With all the w^Fhite noise n the static And the stifling of the screams This is ^Cwar, this is death, this is real you better bet! On the w^Finning side, the winning side The winning side, the winning side

The r^Gight side, the right side Well they ^Amshipped you off, and your parents cried And it all ^Gfalls away so quietly When you ^Amwake up to reality.. But Re^Fality? What's reality? What's r^Geality? What's reality? It's a fucking bu^Cllet!! ^F

Well I got a ^Cbrother in Iraq I got no way to get him back Like all those ^Fpeople in the sands, Buried in Afghanistan I got a ^Cchild in a crib I got a father in a bib I got no ^Fpills I got no skills I got no idea what I did I just ^Cwonder every second of every minute that passes by Are we l^Fiving? Are we dreaming? Are we winning where we die?

In a ^Gcloud of dust, in a mushroom burst In a ^Amseries of degradations first ^FAll alone, in a hospital bed? Wondering what we might of done ins^Gtead!

With a ^Clifetime, lifetime F A lifetime, A lifetime C A lifetime, A lifetime F A lifetime, A lifetime G A lifetime, A lifetime Well, we ^Ampaid our dues, and we did our time But tell me w^Ghat exactly was our crime? Well I ^Amstand and stood for this fallen line While ^Fyou decide who lives, who dies I hope you ^Gchoke on all.. your... ^Clies
