Verse 1:
 Em        G             D              C
This war’s a big one the best one you've had
Em        G            D       C
  You've never wanted something so bad
         Em        G              D            C
Like that  set of toy soldiers you begged for from  Dad
      A
He liked guns he considered it
B                               Em
 Figured you'd get rid of it one  day
          G         D              C
You got lucky when you were like five
        Em                 G           D                 C
In your head your little soldiers did fight for their lives
        Em              G              D        C
Ah you'd rip off their arms and you'd set them alight

Chorus:
    A
In your head they were in on it
 B
Little xxxxxxx idiots
Em           G
Your little gladiators
D           C
 You little Caesar
Em                     G
Your men wouldn't stop fighting
    D          C
so you didn't either
   Em             G            D          C
Now  this war’s a small one you wail as a preacher
   A                     B
To a vacuum of innocence xxxxxxx on your brilliance

Verse 2:
       Em          G         D           C
Your little toy soldiers got big you got old
       Em            G            D                C
 Like  little toy soldiers they did as they were told
          Em         G       D             C            A
With some fictional foreign invasion they took to your hold
                B                                 Em
And before you considered them they were already killing them
      G           D          C             Em
Sensationalize them embrace the mind of a  child
         G                D
That’ll break them get them excited

Chorus:
    C        Em            G      D           C
As a kid it costs maybe a fiver to make you a tyrant
A                                B                Em
 Well now it costs a little bit, 200,000 civilians

Verse 3:
Em        G       D           C         Em
   Well it’s hardly war it's an act of  God
G                  D           C          Em
It’s cleaners with guns it's a man with a job
               G             D             C
One of yours dies and we'll cry for their family
A                                  B
   We'll bomb their country and we'll read it in a textbook
    Em           G
in a  hundred years

Bridge:
     D             C        Em          G
Some unimaginable past a song and a dance
      D            C
and we never go back
         Em             G           D              C
  But some kids playing games at the feet of his dad
        A                   B
thinking my war's a big one the best one I’ve had
