[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
