[A] [Bm]
[A] [Bm] [Bm]
[A]A [Bm]Bm x2
[Verse]
[A]A man s[Bm]tands up before his [A]God and [Bm]count[Bm]ry
[A]Raises his [Bm]right hand and t[A]akes an [Bm]oath[Bm]
[A]Swears he has [Bm]acted in the l[A]ine of [Bm]duty[Bm]
[A]And he more t[Bm]han anyone wants t[A]o tell th[Bm]e tru[Bm]th
[Cborus]
[G]But there is a need to keep so[Bm]methings a s[A]ecret
[G]Some weapons shipments, some p[Bm]rivate wa[A]rs
[G]In the future democracy will b[Bm]e defended[A]
[A]Behind close[Bm]d door[Bm]s
[Verse]
[A]Now the men o[Bm]f Congress who conve[A]ne to de[Bm]termi[Bm]ne
[A]If cove[Bm]rt war is a business[A] or a cr[Bm]ime[Bm]
[A]Are the[Bm] same men who routinely gi[A]ve their[Bm] perm[Bm]ission
[A]For the[Bm] shedding of blood in [A]security[Bm]'s na[Bm]me
[Cborus]
[G]And there is a need to keep so[Bm]me things a s[A]ecret
[G]The names of some countries, t[Bm]he terms of [A]some deals
[G]And above all the sound of the[Bm] screams of [A]the innocent
[A]Beneath our [Bm]whee[Bm]ls[A] [Bm] [Bm]
[Bridge]

[E]Are the features of a lie be[F#m]ginning to come through?

[Verse]
[A]In the street[Bm]s of America the chi[A]ldren ar[Bm]e bur[Bm]ied
[A]Caught in an [Bm]avalanche of weapons[A] and dru[Bm]gs[Bm]
[A]They live and[Bm] they die in the bow[A]els of a[Bm] busi[Bm]ness
[A]That disguise[Bm]d as a war between T[A]he Crips[Bm] and [Bm]The Bloods
[Cborus]
[G]And there is a need to keep so[Bm]me things a s[A]ecret
[G]The C.I.A. deals protecti[Bm]ng the source[A]
[G]And the government policies directly co[Bm]nnect[A]ing
[A]The drugs an[Bm]d ou[Bm]r wars[A] [Bm] [Bm]
