Verse 1
We must talk (C major) on every telephone
Get (F major) eaten off the web (C major)

From the (F major) books that we have (G major) read
And to the (C major) face of every criminal
Strapped (F major) firmly to a chair
We must (C major) stare, we must (G major) stare, we must (C major) stare

Verse 2
We must take (C major) all of the medicines
Too ex (F major) pensive now to sell (C major)
Set fire to the preacher
Who is promising (F major) us hell (G major)
And in the (C major) ear of every anarchist
That (F major) sleeps but doesn't dream
We must (C major) sing, we must (G major) sing, we must (C major) sing
Chorus 1
And it'll go like this, alright
(F major) While my mother (G major) waters plants
My (C major) father loads his (F major) gun
He says (F major) death will give us (G major) back to God
Just (A minor) like the setting sun (F major)
Its (G major) return to the lonesome ocean
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) (F major) (C major) And then they splashed into the

Sing ec (F major) static with the whole (C major)
Must memorize nine numbers
And de (F major) ny we have a soul (G major)
And in this (C major) endless race for property
And (F major) privilege to be one

Verse 4
We must hang (C major) up in the belfry
Where the bats (F major) and moonlight laugh (C major)
We must stare into a crystal ball
And only (F major) see the past (G major)
And into the (C major) caverns of tomorrow
With just our flashlights (F major) and our love
We must plunge, (C major) we must plunge, (G major)
we must (C major) plunge
And then we'll get down there
Way down to the very bottom of everything
And then we'll see it,
Chorus 2
we'll see it, we'll see it
(F major) Oh my mornings (G major) coming back
The (C major) whole world's waking (F major) up
Oh, the (F major) city bus is (G major) swimming past
I'm (A minor) happy just because (F major)
I (G major) found out I am really no one (C major) (F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
