G
See Thomas Jefferson
       C                 G
On the eve of Bunker Hill
C                     G
  Writing words to die for
        Em        D      G
Writing sentences to kill
 
 
They've come to paint his portrait
      C                 G
So he grabs a chair and sits
       Em              C
As the surgeon orders cotton
               D           G
For a thousand tourniquets
 
 
              C
For God and country
            Em
For us and them
                C
Every good idea
                              Em
Kills at least a thousand men
    C       D        G
At least a thousand men
 
 
 
See the able-bodied Christian
     C               G      C
In a dark and savage land
                             G
Tellin' all those who will listen
      Em       D      G
That God was once a man
 
 
 
Through needles eye so narrow
         C                 G
He will lead them four by four
Em                           C
  He's got nine hundred shackles
               C      D      G
He needs at least a hundred more
 
 
           C
A thousand men
           Em
A thousand men
              C
Every good idea
                               Em
Kills at least a thousand men
     C        D      G
At least a thousand men
 
 
 
See the able-bodied student
        C          G     C
In his laboratory coat
                 G
Whispering calculations
      Em      D            G
Like prayers stuck in his throat
 
 
 
Soon he will discover
            C         G
Some flawless medicine
          Em               C
But right now he needs an oven
                       D        G
That holds at least a thousand men
 
 
                C
Some are the means
              Em
Some are the ends
             C
Every good idea
                              Em
Kills at least a thousand men
     C       D       G
At least a thousand men
 
 
              D
One thousand one
              Em
One thousand one
             C
Every man I know
                               Em
Thinks that he's one thousand one
 
 
               D
Nine hundred nine
              Em
His day is done
             C
Every man I know
                               Em
Thinks that he's one thousand one
        C        D       G
I know I'm one thousand one

See Thomas Jefferson on the eve of Bunker Hill

Writing words to die for, writing sentences to kill

They’ve come to paint his portrait so he grabs a chair and sits

As the surgeon orders cotton for a thousand tourniquets

For God and Country, for us and them

Every good idea kills at least a thousand men

At least a thousand men

See the able-bodied Christian in a dark and savage land

Telling all those who will listen that God was once a man

Through needle’s eye so narrow he will lead them four by four

He’s got nine hundred shackles

He needs at least a hundred more

See the able-bodied student in his laboratory coat

Whispering calculations like prayers stuck in his throat

Soon he will discover some flawless medicine

But right now he needs an oven that holds at least a thousand men

At least a thousand men

One thousand one, one thousand one

Every man I know thinks that he’s one thousand one

Nine hundred nine, his day is done

Every man I know thinks that he’s one thousand one

I know I’m one thousand one
