I was down in the sunset, hadn't eaten lunch yet
E A B E
Up on my soapbox, in front of a coffee shop
E A B E
Runnin' my mouth about the war in Iraq
E A B E
When a G.I., right behind my back, said
E A
Don't care who told you
E A
Don't care what you're selling
E B
But you don't know how bad it is
E A E A
Oh no you don't know how bad it is
E A B E
'Cuz I was down in the desert on my second tour
E A B E
I didn't want to do the third But I wanted to be sure
E A B E
That I got my G.I. bill when I would return
E A
So I grabbed the bottle
B E
And let the rubber burn
(Play this instead of the open chords for the slow part)

We were waiting for orders
But new orders never came
Only to patrol that old refinery in shame
With no sense of purpose on an idle soldier's mind
I went left, right, left
And I stumbled on down the line
