cast your eyes into the distance
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
try to focus on it all
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
find a spirit of resistance
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
instead of pride before the fall
F#m D
forge some opposition
F#m D E
from disparate strands
A A2 E E7 D D2
it ain’t the prettiest position
E7sus E7 A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
as a century ends

A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
unstable situation
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
faces made of wax
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
streams of melting glass
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
sheets of butchered facts

the roar of the machine
C# C#7 D E
hooded hearts and jeweled hands
A A2 E E7
and anger spilling out like gasoline

A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
through a fog of contradiction
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
out to the lake of tears
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
see society admiring its own reflection
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
chase a light that shines and disappears
F#m D F#m D E
now be careful what you say cause reality offends
A A2 E E7 D D2
just sit back and let your soul decay

and its easy to get weary
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
as you fight to get it done
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
gainst a popular theory
A A2 E E7 D D2 E7sus E7
that it’s over ’fore it’s even begun
F#m D
strain the limit of compassion
C# C#7 D E
tend a wound that never mends , ohhh
A A2 E E7
and honesty still out of fashion
