“Shoot To Maim, Shoot To Kill Me”
1968

(A, E, F#-, D)


-INTRO-

Protester 1: ITS VIETNAM
Protester 2: ITS WOMEN
Protester 3: ITS HOMOS
Protester 4: ITS BLACKS

Protester 1: THEY KILL US
Protester 2: THEY SCREW US
Protester 4: THEY LYNCH US
 Protester 3:ATTACK
ALL:
OUR PROTESTS WITH THEIR PROMISES
OF THEIR FUCKED AMERICAN DREAM
SENSELESS ACTS OF VIOLENCE
LIKE THIS WORLDS NEVER SEEN

Abe:
YOU PANTHERS
YOU HIPPIES
YOU YIPPIES
YOU BROADS
YOU FED UP
RESISTORS
YOU ATHIEST DOGS


THEY TOLD US THEY WERE FOR US
TO GET US ON THEIR SIDE
NOW YOU SEE THEIR HYPOCRISY
THEY JUST FUCKING LIED

(G, D, E-, C)
PRE:
BUT EACH MAN MAKES HIS OWN DECISION
TO STAND UP FOR INNOCENT LIVES
OR LOOK AWAY WHILE—LBJ
SENDS MORE OF US OFF TO DIE

YOU ARE THE ONE BLAME
OR THE ONE TO CHANGE
NOW THAT ITS AN EYE FOR AN EYE
ARE YOU THE KIND OF MAN YOU JUST SITS AND TAKES IT?
ARE YOU THE KIND THAT FIGHTS? 

(OTHERS CHIME IN)


(A-, E, F#-, D-)

PERSON 1:
Protester 2: IM SICK OF INJUSTICE
Protester 4:AND RACIST REGIMES

PERSON 2:
Protestors 1 2/4 IM READY FOR ACTION
Protestors 1-4 TO END THIS HIPOCRISY

ABE:
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME

Abe and Harry
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME


(G, D, E-, C)

HARRY:
EACH MAN MAKES HIS OWN DECISION
TO STAND UP FOR INNOCENT LIVES
OR LOOK AWAY
WHILE --- AND LBJ
SEND MORE OF US OFF TO DIE


I WONT BE THE ONE TO BLAME
IM THE ONE TO CHANGE
NOW THAT ITS AN EYE FOR AN EYE
IM NOT THE KIND OF MAN WHO JUST SITS AND TAKES IT
IM THE KIND THAT FIGHTS!!!

ABE:
PUT YOUR ARMS UP, FOLLOW ME
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM MAY BE YOUR LIFE
(X2)

Abe:
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME

Chorus
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME 

SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME 

SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME
SHOOT MAIM, SHOOT TO KILL ME 

Abe:
We organize in the park at four.
