Sugarcoating - Martin Sexton
Intro - C, Am
C, F, Dm, C
Am
It was a clear blue day in September
C
In the year two thousand and one
Am
Everybody seems to remember
C
Very few know how it was done
Am
Jet planes flying into buildings
F C
Nobody getting in their way
Am
Tall twin towers made of concrete and steel
C G
Coming down like paper Mache
Dm
And I wonder why
F G
Nobody wonders why
C
With all this sweet, sweet, sweet sugarcoating
Am
The nightly news gone entertainment biz
C F
And the politicians out showboating
C G C
One day somebody tell it like it is
Am
We went a huntin' for those old evil doers
C
Down in old Afghanistan
Em Am
Then we lost the track and headed back to Iraq
C
With our sights set on Iran
Am
Through the desert runs a money trail
C
We kill and die for to defend
Am
Oh from the banks to the bankers to the tanks to the tankers
C G
It's a war that knows no end
Dm
And no wonder why
F G
Very few wonder why
C
With all this sweet, sweet, sweet sugarcoating
Am
The nightly news gone entertainment biz
C F
Oh big business out showboatin
C G G
Won't somebody tell it like it is
F C
Oh who knows a truth (And not afraid to tell it)
F Am - G - C
This song is for you
C - Am - C - G - C
Am
Maybe if we talk we're just dead men walking
C
But if we're silent we're living like slaves
Am
But if we follow where we lead and we're eaten what we're fed
C G
Dm F G
Then we might as well be sleeping in our grave
C
With all this sweet, sweet, sweet sugarcoating
Am
The nightly news gone entertainment biz
C F
Everybody out showboating
C G C
Somebody wanna tell it like it is
C G C
Oh somebody's gonna tell it like it is
C G F
C
I believe somebody's gonna tell it like it is
