Forever lost in comparisons
        |          A|G#m  
Between you and the better man
            |     A    G#m|F#m  
Yeah you're always so  quick
          |   B|
To take a bow
            |                   E|B  
I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy
         |           A|G#m  
And your postcard sincerity
          |          A|F#m  
Don't you ever get tired
               |    B|
Of being yourself
[CHORUS]
             |         G#m|A  
It's getting so hard to find you
                                (So hard to find you)
       |                E|B  
As you fade into your world of reprisal
                               (Oh oh oh oh)
    |     F#m|        G#m|    A|
As you slip into the comfort
|           |    B|
  Of your denial
|               A|    B|
  Your patriotic smile
|               A|     B|
  Your go down in style
|          |                         E|B  
  And you say that you're not to blame
                  |A  
  Yeah you're proud of what you did
          |        G#m|
And you'd do it again
|   A        G#m|              F#m|   B|
 All in the name of God and country
|              |                       E|B  
  But that's too bad about the little snag
                 |                   A|
  'Cause getting caught is such a drag
 |   A      G#m|              F#m|   B|
Even in the name of God and country
[CHORUS]
             |             G#m|A  
Still you're all the same to me
                             (you're all the same to me)
            |                         E|B  
You're just trying to make points on national TV
                             (Oh oh oh oh oh)
         |        F#m|       G#m|    A|
Yeah you try to make points for God
           |   B|
God and country
|                A|    B|
  You call this justice
|              A|       B|    B|
I call this self-service
[GUITAR SOLO]
| F| F| A| G#m| A   G#m| F#m| B|
      |                E|B  
And I hope that I never find
         |A  
What you call good conscience
   |G#m  
Or peace of mind
    |      A   G#m|                F#m|   B|
As another man dies for God and country
           |                                 E|B  
'Cause I'm sure while you're sitting there talking
         |          A|G#m  
Well the bombs are falling
|  A       G#m|F#m  
All in the name
      |  A       G#m|F#m  
Whoa, all in the name
      |  A       G#m|   F#m           B|    E|  E|  A|  A|
Whoa, all in the name of God and country
