[slow part]
    Bm
Oh! Oliver Boy what did you do?
    Bm
But crush the hand you never shook
     Bm                             Bm
Then rob the rights of people to be free
    Bm
Oh! Oliver Boy it's a terrible state
    Bm
You left behind a worse off race
      Bm                                 Bm
Where dignity and pride fought for their place
    G              Bm
Oh! Oliver Boy now you are gone
    Bm                     Bm
And we're still here where we belong
Bm                                          Bm
Forgiveness being our strength you'll never see
 
[slow part over]
 
Bm
Now the sun shines on this page I write
            Bm
Though it's raining hard in Palestine
   Bm
No lands are promised lands
             Bm
When will we see?
[Bm]
So don't tell me that your God's my God
        Bm
I don't think they even care at all
       Bm                                 Bm
Just a pantomime behind a curtain lies de-ceit
 
   G            Bm
Oh listen to me bark out loud
     Bm              Bm
With-out a voice and little growl
G               Bm
Snapping at the heels I wait
Bm
For something more to change
                       Dm [fades directly into Chorus]
The more they stay the same
 
[Chorus 1]
Bm
Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
E
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
C
Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
E                                     Bm
Where there's blood there's death not glory
 
Bm
Look into these empty eyes
Bm
Fed upon by parasites
Bm                                Bm
As beauty's ugly head devours its plight
[Bm]
While the borders of our hate create
Bm
Nothing more than each our fate
Bm                                  Bm
Trapped between our comfort and our crime
   G               Bm
So stand along the graveyard wall
    Bm                  Bm
And watch the souls per-form their song
G              Bm
Sing to us the dead above
       Bm
As the mourners come to pray
                Bm
The living stay away
 
[Chorus 2]
Bm
Oliver Boy! It's the same militia
E
Oliver Boy! Just the clothes are different
C
Oliver Boy! It's the same old story
E
Where there's blood there's death not glory
Bm
Oliver Boy! We're all someone's sons
E
All of our Boys! Just put down the guns
C
Oliver Boy! You're dead but listen
E                                 Bm
You were wrong but we're no diffe-rent
 
[Solo - not figured out]
 
Bm                      E
   Marching to the left,  everyone in step
Bm C                         E
     Don't ask the question, why we're here with no direction
Bm                       E
   Marching to the right,  this is not our fight
Bm C                        E
     The curse of friction, born of man and contradiction
 
[Chorus 2]
 
Bm
All of our Boys!
 
[slow part]
 
Bm
Now the sun shines on this page I write
            Bm              E     Bm
Though it's raining hard in Pales-tine
