Bm
Dad I Emknow
You can't Asee
My actions F#as
A plea for Bmpeace
You can't get Empast
The rocks stained Ared
The nail bomb F#blast
The doctor, Bmdead
Your prairie Emdream
Your liberal Aheart
Your patient F#mind
Your father's Bmarms
They just won't Emdo
They just can't Afit
It's them, not F#Marx
You can blame for Dthis
Alive in the BbdirtA  D  
Alive in the Emdirt
I'm at F#peace, sainted and Bmwaiting
For my Fperfect pain to speak through me again
Break: Bm, Em, A, F#, Bm  
Dad, I found EmGod
Through VietAnam
Mai Lai's F#graves
Agent BmOrange
See, we live Emlies
We have to Achoose
Our bombs speak F#loud
So I spoke, Bmtoo
Then disapEmpeared
Ten miles from Ahome
Newark F#slum
Where you won't Bmgo
It's here I've Emfound
My higher Aself
A life that F#works
And suits me Dwell
I pray for the BbdirtA  D  
I pray for the Emdirt
And I aF#sk to suffer in silBmenceF  
To stay here in GhellC  
Awake in the G#dirtG  C  
Awake in the G#dirtG  Em  
Awake in the Amdirt nowF  
Bm
My stutter Emlifts
My words come Aclear
Your little F#girl
She's just not Bmhere
I am Emsure
At my Adeath
The truth will F#float
On God's sweet Bmbreath
Until that Emtime
Don't ask for Ame
Behind this F#veil
Is where I'll Dbe
At one with the BbdirtA  D  
At one with the Emdirt
I'm at F#peace, sainted and Bmwaiting
For my Fperfect pain to cover me for Bmgood?
Outro: Em, A, F#, Bm, Em, A, F#
