Snare Drum Intro

(G) You can go to war when your 18

But, (C) you can't buy a beer

(G) You can launch missles from a submarine

But, you (A) can't buy a pistol, (D) here

You can (G) breathe chemical weapon fumes

But, (C) they don't want you to smoke

So, when you're (G) shootin' up a car in Baghdad

Don't (D) order a Rum & (G) Coke

(G) You can have sex when you're 17

You just (C) can't have a cigarette

You ain't (G) old enough for a slot-machine

Or to (A) lay down a football (D) bet

But, they'll (G) take you at the clinic when you're 15

And your (C) folks don't have to know

Or you can (G) take Penicillin

Just don't watch people gettin' (D) naked on vide(G)o

(C) You can be governor at at 21

Or a (G) president at 35

You can be the senator from South Carolina

If (A) you can just stay al(D)ive

They'll (G) throw you in with sharks when your 12 years old

And (C) teach you to scubadive

But, when you're (G) 94, and can't see anymore more

(D) They'll still let you (G) drive

Just (C) don't get caught with no beer in your hand

If (G) you just turned 18

They don't mind you ownin' a big old torch

And a (A) gallon of gasol(D)ine

You just (G) can't buy smokes at the liquor store

Or (C) ya'll will both go to jail

But, they'll (G) sell you the rope

So you can hang yourself

While you're (D) listenin' to Nine Inch (D) Nails

It's a (G) sorry world

It's a sorry world

It's a sorry world when (C) you can raise youngens

But, you (D) can't smoke a Marlbor(G)o

It's a (G) sorry world

It's a sorry world

It's a sorry world when you're (C) 17

But, you (D) can't call a call-girl (G)
