G-C-G-Em-G-C-G-D-G
Blame is on Summer, blame it on each other, blame it on all our friends
you can put the blame on anyone but ya still can’t make amends
Well I got home a week ago and I still can’t understand
now we’re at war in Libya, Iraq and Afganistan
C-G-Em-G-C-G-D7-G
Foreign Lands..fighting in foreign lands
Tell me cause I don’t understand
Why we’re fighting in foreign lands
Well I did my time in the 1st Marines and I seen my share of Death
And I heard the lies that the government spills out with every breath
We pushed hard and we gave chase to the mountains and they dug in
Were surprised when we reached the poppy fields to find the the CIA
guardin’
Foreign Lands..fighting in foreign lands
Tell me cause I don’t understand
Why we’re fighting in foreign lands
Solo
Sgt told me that I’m a goin’ back for another tour
The next one makes it 5 long years I’ve been fighting foreign wars
Foreign Lands..fighting in foreign lands
Tell me cause I don’t understand
Why we’re fighting in foreign lands
