C#m A

"What are you talking about? America is not going to be destroyed."
C#m A B
"Never?
C#m A B
Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed

All great countries are destroyed, why not yours?
B C# A
How much longer do you think your own country will last?
C# A
Forever?"

[Verse 1]
F#m C#m A C#m A
Block the entrances, close the doors
F#m C#m A C#m A
Seal the exits because this is war
F#m A
All gave some, some gave all
B
But for what? I want to know
[Chorus]
C#m A B
Carry on, don't mind me
F#m
All I gave was everything
C#m A B
And yet you ask me for more
C#m A B
Fought your fight, bought your lie
F#m A
And in return I lost my life
B
What purpose does this serve?
C#m A C#m A
C#m A C#m A
[Verse 2]
F#m C#m A C#m A
A folded flag, a purple heart
F#m C#m A C#m A
A family all but torn a part
F#m A
I fought with courage to preserve
B
Not my way of life, but yours
[Chorus]
C#m A B
Carry on, don't mind me
F#m
All I gave was everything
C#m A B
And yet you ask me for more
C#m A B
Fought your fight, bought your lie
F#m A
And in return I lost my life

What purpose does this serve?

E B F#m G#m
C#m
The cowards preach from pedestals
C#m
With words like "courage" and "resolve"
E B
But what they meant was "Fuck them all"
F#m G#m
Because freedom isn't free
C#m
They send our daughters and our sons
C#m
To deserts under burning suns
E B
A sacrificial slaughtering
F#m G#m A
To fill the pockets of the weak
A F#m G#m A B
An artificial enemy, are we so easily deceived?
[Intrerlude]

[Chorus]
C#m A B
Don't carry on, just walk away
F#m C#m
How many more sent to their graves?
A B
In this lesson ignored
C#m A
I fought your fight
B
Bought your lie
F#m A
And in return I lost my life
B
What purpose does this serve?
A B
What purpose did I serve?
C#m
