capo 2
Am Em
millions of mega – tons , the power of a thousand suns
Am Em
fallout sky for years to come , a pyroclastic grave .
Am Em
we beached the boat when it ran dry , we pleaded with each other , why?
Am Em
and in our hearts we wished wed died before we climbed aboard
Am Em
well i know it is a weak defence , a lifetime of indifference
Am Em
paid the tax and stalled the rent , i didnt rock the boat .
Am Em
i ignored the pilgrim suicides , their human bombs a rising tide
Am Em
with sanctions failed and trident fired they finally came for me
Bm Em Bm Em
whispered tales of creed and flag , nowhere to ship home the body bags
C G D *
go pay the ferryman and leave their tags rusting on the shore
Am C
im on the run my mp3 downloads global catastrophe
G Am
like strangeloves darkest fantasy , warheads filled the sky
C
now a refugee on a russian sub , a deal struck with little odessan thugs
G Am *
how right they were to call us mugs as they waved us out to sea .
( the rest follows the same chords )
after 30 days of poisoned flood , the engines cracked the diesels mud
biblical tide of sweat and blood we ran the boat aground
and fighting with each other , why?
regretting more wed never trie
in our hearts wed already died before we hit the beach
whispered tales .
