Zen And The Art Of Xenophobia

	  		
verse 1: 
Em            C 
Cling to your God and guns, 
    G               D 
The banjo’s playing Hot Cross Buns, 
Em               C 
Bucket seats set to recline, 
   G                 D 
No need to cross the county line. 
Em            C 
Are the Arabs closing ranks, 
 G                 D 
About to roll some Russian tanks? 
Em                 C 
Shut the doors and save the kids, 
         G                D 
Lock and load - just like Jesus did. 


     G                 D 
The United States of Amnesia 
        Em                     C 
Make us numb, make it dumb, anesthesia. 
        G                              D 
Cut the cord, close the door, we don’t know ya, 
         Em                 C        G D Em C 
It’s the zen and the art of xenophobia. 


G D Em C 

verse 2: 
Em              C 
Let’s keep them separate, 
G            D 
Melanin just can’t succeed. 
 Em           C 
“Give me liberty… or something.” 
G                   D 
 It’s better if you just don’t read. 
Em                 C 
Crank your phasers up to “slaughter” 
G                   D 
Turn your wine back into water. 
         Em                 C 
When you play this song, Al Qaeda wins, 
    G           D 
And Jesus was American. 


     G                 D 
The United States of Amnesia 
        Em                     C 
Make us numb, make it dumb, anesthesia. 
        G                              D 
Cut the cord, close the door, we don’t know ya, 
         Em                 C        G  
It’s the zen and the art of xenophobia. 
                       D 
The United States of Amnesia 
        Em                     C 
Make us numb, make it dumb, anesthesia. 
        G                              D 
Cut the cord, close the door, we don’t know ya, 
         Em                 C        G  
It’s the zen and the art of xenophobia.
