The Pilgrims Address By Fish Intro Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D Dsus2 Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Mr President, you don’t know my name, Dsus4 D Dsus2 D But you could find it if you really cared, A Because I pay my taxes and I pay my dues, G All I ask for in return is the truth Dsus4 D Dsus2 D Can we just be honest, I’ve heard that speech is free, Dsus4 D Dsus2 D So please believe that this address is sincere A I’m no one special, just a regular guy G But I just can’t keep on wondering why Dsus4 D Dsus2 D That the shells we fire now kill our own Dsus4 D Dsus2 D And we waste away like shadows in our home I fell from blue skies, fought through desert storm I froze in fire fights, I killed someone Who had a father who loved him just like mine Who believed the sacrifice was justified In the name of freedom and in the name of god While shifting sands hid all our sins and all our blood In the wake of glory I flew back home I watch videos at night in my uniform Of those towns and cities being blown apart By those bombs that fool the people being smart As they flew down chimneys. Flew down corridors And explode on film and everyone goes “awe!” And you read the stories about how no-one’s killed And I think about the photos that I kept To remind me that it was all for real And the ghost that I’ve become will be released To the sands still shifting that cover all the lies About what really happened and who really died Was it really worth it? Was it worth the cost? Did we really take the high ground or have we lost All the moral battles, did we lose the war? Mr President I need to know for sure That with all this knowledge, all this control That we were on the right side after all That we weren’t lied to, that we weren’t used And the country that we fought for still upholds the truth. Mr President, you don’t know my name, But you could find it if you really cared, It’s on a black wall, it’s on a cross of stone Its In the Balkan States, the Gulf and close to home On not so foreign islands out on city streets Mr President tell me why I’m here This is my question, this is my life, this is my address Mr President, Mr President, Mr President This is my address, this is my address, this is my address Mr President, Mr President, This is my address My first Tab any comments welcome at foxes4ever@aol.com
