[Verse 1]
D G
Well I heard they built an island in the pacific
D G
Size of texas, made of plastic
D G Bm A A
Well I heard they built a bomb that could mow us all down that won't make a sound
D G
Well I heard they built a monument to broken things
D G
To money, power, fame, all brings
D G Bm A A
Where people gather 'round in their diamond rings, hoping things start spreading
[Chorus]
D A
While another day goes by
Bm G
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
D A Bm G
On our screens, in our dreams, in our magazines, shine so bright like the stars in the sky
D A
So tell me what it is I know
Bm G
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
D A
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
Bm G
All the real, all the fakes, where this show
D G
Will go?
D G D G D G Bm A
[Verse 2]
D G
Well I heard they found a message written on the sun
D G
Said 'love's the only way to end what we begun'
D G
They're keeping it a secret, got a race to run
Bm A
More money to come
D G
Well I saw my baby born, saw my father die
D G
I felt a cold wind blow, heard my mother cry
D G
Stood in a hurricane, lay under the sky
Bm A
Found a road, kept treading
[Chorus]
D A
While another day goes by
Bm G
There's famous aimless and I don't know why
D A Bm G
On our screens, in our dreams, in our magazines, shine so bright like the stars in the sky
D A
So tell me what it is I know
Bm G
I must be missing something but I'm not so sure
D A
So tell me all the days, all the ways, all the time it takes
Bm G
All the real, all the fakes, where this show
D G
Will go?
D G D G D G Bm A
[Bridge]
Em D
If we keep running to escape
Em D
Going in circles, finding ways
Em D
To envy, conspire, covet, hate
Em
Then we'll just be wasting our time
A
Falling in line, heeding no sign
Em D
Stuck neither asleep nor awake
