[Verse 1]
Am                C
Kill for gain, or shoot to maim
    G               D
But we don't need a reason
    Am              C
The golden goose is on the loose
    G            D
And never out of season
Am                    C
Blackened pride still burns inside
     G               D
This shell of bloody treason
Am                  C
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
        G              D
For the love of living death


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C   C/B
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
    F            Bb           C  G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Am        Fmaj7           A7sus4    C    C/B
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
F                     Bb      E
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?


[Chorus]
Am G Am       C  G
2  minutes to midnight
    D          F        C    G
The hands that threaten doom
Am G Am       C  G
2  minutes to midnight
   D        F             C    G
To kill the unborn in the womb


[Verse 2]
    Am                       C
The blind men shout "Let the creatures out
      G            D
We'll show the unbelievers"
    Am                C
The napalm screams of human flames
     G                 D
Of a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
       Am                                C
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
           G                           D
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C   C/B
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
    F            Bb           C  G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Am        Fmaj7           A7sus4    C    C/B
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
F                     Bb      E
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?


[Chorus]
Am G Am       C  G
2  minutes to midnight
    D          F        C    G
The hands that threaten doom
Am G Am       C  G
2  minutes to midnight
   D        F             C    G
To kill the unborn in the womb


[Verse 3]
    Am            C              G                D
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
        Am                      C                     G               D
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
       Am             C                     G              D
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
       Am               C                  G              D
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am       Fmaj7        A7sus4  C   C/B
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed
    F            Bb           C  G
The glamour, the fortune, the pain
Am        Fmaj7           A7sus4    C    C/B
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
F                     Bb      E
Don't you pray for my soul anymore?


[Chorus]
Am G Am       C  G
2  minutes to midnight
    D          F        C    G
The hands that threaten doom
Am G Am       C  G
2  minutes to midnight
   D        F             C    G
To kill the unborn in the womb
