Men Loudon Wainwright III
Capo 2
Chords:
Dmaj7 xx0222
A* x02225
D Dmaj7 A A*
When a ship is sinking and they lower the lifeboats
And h[G]and out the lifejackets, the m[D]en keep on their coats
D Dmaj7 A A*
The women and the children are the ones who must go first
And the m[G]en who try to save their skins are c[D]owards and are cursed
Chorus:
[G]Every man's a captain, m[D]en know how to drown
[A]Man the lifeboats if there's room, o[G]therwise go d[D]own
And it's the same when there's a war on; it's the men who go to fight
Women and children are civilians, when they're killed it's not right
Men kill men in uniform; it's the way war goes
When they run they're cowards, when they stay they are heroes
Chorus:
Every man's a general, men go off to war
The battlefield's a man's world; cannon fodder's what they're for
It's the men who have the power; it's the men who have the might
And the world's a place of horror; because each man think he's right
A man's home is his castle, so the family let him in
But what's important in that kingdom, is the women and children
Chorus:
A husband and a father, every man's a king
But he's really just a drone, gathers no honey has no sting
Chorus:
Have pity on the general, the king and the captain
They know they're expendable, after all they're men
