C
[Verse 1]
C F C
we must talk on every telephone get eaten off the web
C F G
we must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read
C F
and to 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 medicine 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 alright
[Bridge]
F G C F
While my mother waters plants my father loads his gun
F G Am F
he say death will give us back to god, just like the setting sun
G C
is returned to the lonesome ocean
[Instrumental]
C C F x3

[Spoken]
C
And then they splashed into the deep blue sea
C F C
Oh, it was a wonderful splash
C G C
[Verse 2]
C F C
we must blend into the choir sing a static 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 won
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 into the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlight and our love
C G C
we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge
[Spoken]
C
And then we'll get down there, way down to the very bottom of everything
And then we'll see it, oh we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it
[Bridge]
F G C F
oh my morning's coming back the whole world's waking up
F G Am F
this city bus swimming past I'm happy just because
G C
I found out I am really no one
[Instrumental]
C F x3
