Dm
Woke him up with a barrel to his head

His eyes shut tight bracing for the blow
G
Resigning his life to the metal held
                 Dm      Dsus2
In another man's hand

Dm              Bb
Twenty days in a concrete fallout
F                   C
What life have i to take your own
Dm            Bb
Oh my country won't you call out
F                          C
Doorbells are ringing with boxes of bones
Dm                         Bb
...And from another land's war torn corners
F                C
To a prison cell in my own
Dm                Bb
Punish me for not taking your orders
F                        C              Dsus2
But don't lock me up for not leavin' my home


Dm                       Bb
Your words just a bloody fallacy
F                          C
A house of cards you paint-ed white
Dm                    Bb
You tried to recreate normandy
          F           C
(But you) made up the reason to fight
            Dm              F
And now red oil is spillin' down on the street
         F                    C
And your eyes too big for the belly is weak
         Dm              F
Will you not refuse this currency
      C                         Dm
Or is blood money just money to you
   C                         Dm    Dsus2 Dm Dsus2
Is blood money just money to you

Dm              Bb
Twenty days in a concrete fallout
F                   C
What life have i to take your own
Dm            Bb
Oh my country won't you call out
F                          C
Doorbells are ringing with boxes of bones
Dm                         Bb
...And from another land's war torn corners
F                C
To a prison cell in my own
Dm                Bb
Punish me for not taking your orders
F                        C              G
But don't lock me up for not leavin' my home
(repeat previous chorus)
                             Dm     F       C       Bb
Second ending: ...leavin' my home      Camilo, Camilo

           Dm     F        C       Bb
Leavin' my home       Camilo, Camilo

About this song: Camilo

"Camilo," is ultimately about a man and war. In October of 2003, Sergeant Camilo Mejia, returned home from Iraq and tried to be a conscientious objector, however he was rejected. A conscientious objector is someone who refuses to participate in military service on the basis of religious or moral principles. Sergeant Mejia was considered AWOL. The first verse explains the life of one man ending. "His eyes shut tight bracing for the blow. Resigning his life to the metal held, in another man's hand," explains how this man knew he was going to die and all he could do was shut his eyes and wait.
