It's Not Worth Anything More

There's a war in russia, sarajevo too
So to hell with all your thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
You're so distracted from the real thing
You should leave your life behind, behind
Cause i'm free to decide
I'm free to decide
And i'm not so suicidal after all
I'm free to decide

Who Will Save The Warchild Baby?
A D
Who controls the key?

The web we weave is thick and sordid

Plant the seed, territorial greed
D E A D E A
Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild

I spent last winter in new york and came upon a man
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless
He said, "i fought in vietnam"
Beneath his shirt he wore the mark, he bore the mark with pride
A two inch deep incision carved into his side
Warchild!, victim of political pride
Plant the seed, territorial greed
Mind the warchild, we should mind the warchild
Who's the loser now? Who's the loser now?
We're all the losers now!, we're all the losers now
Warchild. . .warchild

It Was A Fearful Night Of December Eigth
Cm Bb Abm
He was returning home from the studio late
Cm Bb Cm Bb

Cm Bb Ab
Because in 1980 he paid the price
Cm Bb Cm Ab
John lennon died

With a smith and wesson 38
John lennon's life was no longer a debate
He should have stayed home
He should have never cared
The man who took his life declared,
He said, "i just shot john lennon."
" i just shot john lennon."
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night

11.I'm Still Remembering 

Play: Eb Fm Gm Fm
I'm Still Remembering The Day
I gave my life away
I'm still remembering the time
You said you'd be mine
Yesterday was cold and bare
Because you were not there
Yesterday was cold
My story has been told
I need your affection all the way
The world has changed
Or i've changed in a way
I try to remain
I'm trying not to go insane
I need your affection all the way
I'm still remembering my life
Before i became your wife
I'm still remembering the pain
And the mind games
Reverse psychology never tainted me
I didn't sell my soul, i didn't sell my soul
I need your affection all the way
They say the cream will always rise to the top
The say that good people are always first to drop
What of kurt cobain?
Will his presence still remain?
Remember jfk?
Ever saintly in a way
Where are you now? Where are you now?
I say, where are you now?
I need your affection all the way

Will You Remember The Dress I Wore?
Dm C
Will you remember my face?
Dm C
Will you remember the lipstick i wore?
     Dm C C
This world is a wonderful place
 
Will you remember the black limousine?
Will you remember the champagne?
Will you remember the things that we've seen?
I will return here again
Will you remember the flowers in my hand?
Will you remember my hair?
Will you remember the future we planned?
The world is not waiting out there
I won't remember the dress i wore
I won't remember champagne
I won't remember the things that we swore
I will just love you in vain
Will you remember?
Will you recall?

Precious years to remember
Childhood fears i surrender
I still recall you, i see you in summer
