Wasted Life (Stiff Little Fingers)
Verse1 :
A
I could be a soldier
G
Go out there and fight to save this land
A
Be a people's soldier
G
Paramilitary gun in the hand
A
I won't be a soldier
G
I won't take no orders from no one
A
Stuff their fucking armies
G
Killing isn't my idea of fun
Chorus :
Eii A
They wanna waste my life
Eii A
They wanna waste my time
Eii A
They wanna waste my life
G D A
And they've stolen it away
Verse2 :
A
I could be a hero
G
Live and die for their important cause
A
A unuted nation
G
Or an independent state with laws
A
And rules and regulations
G
That merely cause disturbances and wars
A
That what I've got now
G
All thanks to the freedom-seeking hordes
Bridge :
F# E
I'm not gonna be taken in
F# E
They said if I don't join I just can't win
F# E
I've heard that story many times before
F# Eii
And every time I threw it out the door

Verse3 :
A
Still they come up to me
G
With a different name but same old face
A
I can see the connection
G
With another time and a different place
A
They ain't blonde-haired or blue-eyed
G
But they think that they're the master race
A
They're nothing but blind fascists
G
Brought up to hate and given lives to waste
