( verse 1 )
D A# C D
automatons with business suits swinging black boxes ,
D A# C G
sequestering the blueprints of daily life
D A# C D
content and free of care , they rejoice in morning ritual
D A# C G
as they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky
( bridge )
D A# C G
i don’t ask questions , don’t promote demonstrations ,
A# C A
don’t look for new consensus , don’t stray from constitution
E C D A
if i pierce the complexity i won’t find salvation
A# C A
just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception
( chorus )
D A# F G
there is an inner logic ,
D A# F G
and we’re taught to keep far from it
D A# F G
it is simple and elegant ,
D A# F G
but it’s cruel and antithetic
A
and there’s no effort to reveal it
( verse 2 )
D A# C D
graduated mentors stroll in marbled brick porticos
D A# C G
in sagacious dialog they despise their average ways
D A# C D
displaying pomp and discipline , they mold their institution
D A# C G
where they practice exclusion on the masses every day
( bridge )
D A# C G
i don’t ask questions , don’t promote demonstrations ,
A# C A
don’t look for new consensus , don’t stray from constitution
E C D A
if i pierce the complexity i won’t find salvation

and we’re taught to keep far from it
D A# F G
it is simple and elegant ,
D A# F G
but it’s cruel and antithetic
A
and there’s no effort to reveal it
( verse 3 )
D A# C D
decorated warriors drill harmless kids on pavement
D A# C G
simulating tyranny under red alert
D A# C D
protecting the opulent and staging moral standard
D A# C G
they expect redemption of character and self – worth
( bridge )

( bridge & chorus A 2nd time , while this is chanted behind it )
( no equality , no opportunity ,
no tolerance for the progressive alternative )
