Tune guitar down ½ step! Play C

    C                         - C7
The war on terror is a big fat joke,
    F                     C   - C7
The war on terror is a big fat joke,
    F                     C - Em7 - Am
The war on terror is a big fat joke, Lord, Lord,
   G                        C
We ain’t gonna be treated this a-way!

‘Cuz 911 was an inside job…
Our borders are a-leakin’ like a sieve…


Go to D

   D                         - D7
The TSA don’t make me feel secure…
G - D - D7
G - D – D/C# - Bm
A - D

Gotta get fried to fly or they touch your junk to board…
I’d rather have ol' snoopy sniff my stuff…


Go to E

   E                               - E7
The water here tastes like a burnin’ tire…
A - E - E7
A - E - E - C#m
B7 - E

I’ll trade the fluoride for some iodine…
I’m shoppin’, where they sell that bottled rain…


Go to F

   F                          - F7
The FDA don’t care about our health…
Bb - F - F7
Bb - F - F - Dm
C - F

We feed our children three square meals a day…
Stick them needles, where the sun don’t shine…


Walk up to G:  (F-F#-G)

    G                             - G7
They ship our jobs and soldiers overseas…
C - G - G7
C - G - G/F# - Em
D - G

They’re sellin’ weapons to our enemies…
They confiscate our guns in time of need…


    G                         - G7
The war on terror is a big fat joke,
          C                      G   - G7
I said, the war on terror is a big fat joke,
            C                      G - G/F# - Em
You know, the war on terror is a big fat joke, Lord, Lord,
   D                        G
We ain’t gonna be treated this a-way!


Big finish:
    G                  - G7
‘Cuz 911 was an inside job.
       C              G  - G7
I said, 911 was an inside job.
        C               G - G/F# - Em
You know, 911 was an inside job, Lord,  Lord,
   D                        G
We ain’t gonna be treated this a-way!


End:
   D                        C - G
We ain’t gonna be treated this a-way!

Drug enforcement only wants their cut…
