[Intro] C F C F C F C C F C We must talk in every telephone Get eaten off the web C F G We must rip out all the epilogues in the books that we have read C F And in the face of every criminal Strapped firmly to a chair C G C We must stare, we must stare, we must stare C F C We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell C F G Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell C F And in the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn't dream C G C We must sing, we must sing, we must sing It'll go like this: F G While my mother waters plants C F My father loads his guns F G He says death will give us back to god Am F G Just like this setting sun is returned to this lonesome ocean C F C F And then they splashed into the deep blue sea C F G C F C C G C It was a wonderful splash C F C We must blend into the choir Sing ecstatic with the whole C F G We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul C F And in this endless race for property and privilege to be one C G C We must run, we must run, we must run C F C We must hang up in the belfry where the bats and moonlight laugh C F G We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past C F And in the caverns of tomorrow With just our flashlights and our love C G C We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge C And then we'll get down there to the very bottom of everything And we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it F G C F Oh my mornings coming back The whole world's waking up F G Am F In the city buses are swimming past I'm happy just because G C F C I found out I'm really no one
