Verse 1
  Am                 F
Endangered species, caged in fright,
     D                  G         E
Shot in cold blood, no chance to fight,
     Am                F
The stage is set, now pay the price,
   D           G           E
An ego boost, don't think twice.
   Am           F
Technology, the battle's unfair,
    D                 G        E
You pull the hammer without a care.
 Am                       F
Squeeze the trigger that makes you Man.
 D                  G       E
Pseudo-safari, the hunt is canned...

So courageous...
