[Verse 1]
E C# G#
Sometimes I just wanna fly
A B
Sometimes I just wanna die
C#
Life is so full of dichotomy
D C# A E
It's so plain to see

The only sane choice is insanity
[Chorus]

Forgive us mother, forgive us mother
C#
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother (Insanity)

Forgive us mother, forgive us mother

Won't you please forgive me? (Insanity)

E C# G#
Welcome to the land of plenty
A B
We're all so busy
In our quest for permanence
C# D C# A E
We lose sight of the relative unimportance
D A E
Of our conquest to see who can produce the most trash before you die
[Chorus]
E
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother
C#
Forgive us mother, forgive us mother (Before you die)

Forgive us mother, forgive us mother

Welcome to the end of the century
A B
Life is so easy
C#
Wouldn't it be nice if we could find a compromise
D C# A E
Between technology
D A E D
And the well being of the Earth that grants us every goddamn thing we need?
A E D A
Everything we need
[Outro]
E
You can't see the sun rise
D A E
When the buildings have grown too tall to see the skies
D A E
And the smog is too thick to be pierced by your eyes
D A E
By your eyes
D A
By your eyes
E
You can't feel the rain fall down
D A E
When you're locked in a box, nailed to the ground
D A E
And the muffled cries for help are the only sound
D A E
The only sound (sound, sound)
D A E
The only sound, sound, sound
D A E
The only sound, sound, sound
D A E
The only sound (sound, sound)
