[Verse 1]
DHere we are in the west
And our Gcars are glistenin'
   DThe bear he roars in the east
But Gwe ain't listenin'D  
   GWe won't play games in his backBmyardD  
But we Glet him build his wall
   AWe say our god is on our Bmside
Hope he's Glistenin' to us all
[Pre-Chorus]
EWhile Dwe   BmtalkC  
[Chorus]
AHe's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrill
He's gettin' dressed Dto kill
[Verse 2]
DWe got eyes in the stars
But we Gdon't care what they see
   DWe put a man on the moon
We all Gsee it on TV
   AWe all protest about his Bmbombs
He hGopes we keep it going
   AAnd while we rest he's marchin' Bmon
His Gfuse has started glowin'
[Pre-Chorus]
EWhile Dwe   BmtalkC  
[Chorus]
AHe's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrills
He's gettin' dressed to Dkill
[Bridge]
CWhat have you Ggot to hide at Ehome
   BmHis arms are Gstained but never empAty
CThe things that Gyou think you Eown
BmAre only Gfor the Afew
Don't you think it's Bmti...mDe, don't you think it's tBmi...me
GWe are ready    C     E  Gwe got ready
[Intrumental]
D  D  D
[Verse 3]
DWe got right on our side
So our Gleaders say today
   DCount the size of the threat
We can Gslide a different way
   AOur planes are flyin' in your Bmsky
GWe know just what they're Csayin'G  
AYou see the writing on the Bmwall
Your Gnerves are tearin', frayin'
[Pre-Chorus]
EWhile Dwe   BmtalkC  
[Chorus]
AHe's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrills
He's gettin' dressed to Dkill
[Outro]
AHe's gettin' dressed, he's lookin' for his thrills
He's gettin' dressed to Dkill
