My Dear Us Of A

However much I love my dear U.S. of A.
One thing sincerely breaks my heart that every day
Across the land some murderous fool
Can walk into a public school
Make corpses of our children
And try to kill us all

And though it keeps on [C7]happening time and [Bm]time again
There doesn't seem [A]to [C7]be [Am]at all [Em]a telling when
Some sound of judgement people
Can actually implement
The measures that are needed
To put it to [C7]an end

This only seems to [C7]happen in the U.S. of A.
In every other countɾy they have found a way
So that the men that make the laws
Have no interest in the double cross
Take cash from institutions
That profit from the guns

And every time it happens they've got [Fm7]hopes and [Bm]prayers
To take all [Em]the attention [C7]from their sordid affairs
Their smoking mirrors creating these horrors God forbids
For hopes and [Bm]dreams won't save you
When someone shoots your kid
