Biography:
Desaparecidos is an American punk rock band from Omaha, Nebraska. It is headed by singer/guitarist Conor Oberst, the frontman of Bright Eyes. "Desaparecidos" means "disappeared ones" in Spanish and is a reference to the left-wing activists arrested by South American military dictatorships who vanished without a trace.
Desaparecidos initially broke up in 2002 after releasing their first album, Read Music/Speak Spanish, as well as touring with Jimmy Eat World and The Promise Ring.

Intro
G // Bm
G Bm G Bm
You were calling out from the underground - You had lots of big ideas but no one can hear them now
C Bm
They riddled you with guilt - They tempted you with wealth
C D Am
They twisted all your words - They made you hate yourself
G // Bm
G Bm
So now you do your schtick, a loyal patriot -
G Bm
And you toe the party line even though it makes you sick
C Bm
They gave you talking points - They taught you double-speak
C D Am
They forced you into war - By saying you were weak
G Bm - C - Bm - C
They signed your checks til they had you in the bag
They scared you blind then draped you in a flag (Em)
D C B
Made you a man at Ft. Bragg
G // Bm
G Bm
You'll do good business as an apologist -
G Bm
If you exaggerate their facts, if you perpetuate their myths
C Bm
They made activism trite - They made honor optional
C D Am
They made propaganda news - They made science radical
G Bm - C - Bm - C
They pulled your teeth til you smiled and agreed
They slit you throat and buried you at sea (Em)
D C B
All for the land of the free
G // Bm
Peace Out
