D              A
Ask yourselves questions
   G        D
In order of merit
            A
Feed the computers
    G           D
And see what returns
D         A
People in charge
         G            D
Are just building the nightmare
             A          G             D
Children can see all of this and will learn

[Chorus]
    A            G    D
Can any man that ever lived
A           G     Fadd9  C  G
Answer the question “Why
D   A        G    D
Any man that ever lived
    Fadd9 C       D     Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D
Was only born to die?”

[Verse 2]
D          A
Why are we sticking
    G            D
Our heads in the desert?
          A
How many years
        G         D
Will it take us to learn
                 A
That all the old wrapping
      G        D
Might cover up silver
             A
And only the silver
   G          D
Is left if it burns?

[Chorus]
    A            G    D
Can any man that ever lived
A           G     Fadd9  C  G
Answer the question “Why
D   A        G    D
Any man that ever lived
    Fadd9 C       D
Was only born to die?”

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
D         A
All of us entered
  G            D
A three-legged spoon race
         A           G
Everyone wins in the end
         D
So don’t rush
               A
Just help one another
   G         D
To better positions
             A
Just to make sure
           G          D
That there won’t be a crush

[Chorus]
    A            G    D
Can any man that ever lived
A           G      Fadd9 C
Answer the question “Why
D   A        G    D
Any man that ever lived
    Fadd9 C       D    Dsus4 D
Was only born to die?”
