[Verse]
We got a caC#ll to write a sG#7ong
about the wC#ar in the GuF#lf
But we shF#7ouldn't hurt aG#7nyone's fC#eelings
So we tC#ried, then gave G#7up, cause there C#was no such F#song
But the Atrying was vBery revEealing
C#mWhat makes a pG#merson so poBisonous rEighteous
That they'd thC#mink less of Eanyone who just disagrAeed?
SC#mhe's just a pG#macifist, hBe's just a Epatriot
If I sC#maid you were cErazy, would you Bhave to fight Ame?
Fighters for lAiberty, fighters for pEower
BFighters for lEonger turns in the shoAwer
Don't tell me G#7I can't F#7fight,
cause I'll punBch out your lights
And hiEstory sAeems to aBgree
that I would fight yBou for Eme
So we rC#ead and we watcG#7hed
all the sC#pecially selected nF#ews
And we lF#7earned so much G#7more 'bout the gC#ood guys
Won't you sC#tand by the fG#7lag?
was the qC#uestion uF#nasked
Won't you jAoin in and fight with the aEllies?
WC#mhat could we sG#7ay? We're only B25 years oEld
With C#m25 sweet suEmmers, and hot fBires in the cAold
TC#mhis kind of G#mlife makes that viBolence unEthinkable
We'd like to plAay hockey, have kAids and grow Aold
[Verse]
Fighters for TAexaco, fighters for poEwer
BFighters for lEonger turns in the shoAwer
Don't tell me G#mI can't fF#ight cause I'll pBunch out your lights
And hiEstory sAeems to aBgree that I would fight Byou for Bme
ThC#mat us would fight tAhem for BweG#  
C#mHe's just a pG#m7eacenik and sBhe's just a wEarhawk
C#mThat's where the bEeach was, that's wBhere the sAea
C#mWhat could we sG#7ay? We're only B25 years oEld
And hEistory sAeems to aBgree
That BI would fight Byou for Bme
That C#mus would fight thAem for Bwe
Is tC#mhat how it aAlways will bBe?

[Verse]

C# G#7

We got a call to write a song

C# F#

about the war in the Gulf

F#7 G#7 C#

But we shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings

C# G#7 C# F#

So we tried, then gave up, cause there was no such song

A B E

But the trying was very revealing

C#m G#m B E

What makes a person so poisonous righteous

C#m E A

That they'd think less of anyone who just disagreed?

C#m G#m B E

She's just a pacifist, he's just a patriot

C#m E B A

If I said you were crazy, would you have to fight me?

A E

Fighters for liberty, fighters for power

B E A

Fighters for longer turns in the shower

G#7 F#7

Don't tell me I can't fight,

cause I'll punch out your lights

E A B

And history seems to agree

B E

that I would fight you for me

C# G#7

So we read and we watched

C# F#

all the specially selected news

F#7 G#7 C#

And we learned so much more 'bout the good guys

C# G#7

Won't you stand by the flag?

C# F#

was the question unasked

A E

Won't you join in and fight with the allies?

C#m G#7 B E

What could we say? We're only 25 years old

C#m E B A

With 25 sweet summers, and hot fires in the cold

C#m G#m B E

This kind of life makes that violence unthinkable

A A A

We'd like to play hockey, have kids and grow old

[Verse]

A E

Fighters for Texaco, fighters for power

B E A

Fighters for longer turns in the shower

G#m F# B

Don't tell me I can't fight cause I'll punch out your lights

E A B B B

And history seems to agree that I would fight you for me

C#m A B G#

That us would fight them for we

C#m G#m7 B E

He's just a peacenik and she's just a warhawk

C#m E B A

That's where the beach was, that's where the sea

C#m G#7 B E

What could we say? We're only 25 years old

E A B

And history seems to agree

B B B

That I would fight you for me

C#m A B

That us would fight them for we

C#m A B

Is that how it always will be?
