Verse 1
Dm
G
Dm
Darkness at the break of
D
G
noon, shadows even the silver spoon
Dm
A
G
The hand made blade, the child's balloon,
eclipses both the sun and moon
Bb
To understand you know too soon,
A

Dm
I'm only bleedin'
For them that must obey authority
G
That they do not respect in any degree
C
Who despise their jobs, their destiny
G
Speak jealously of them that are free
Bb
do what they do just to be nothing
G
Dm
D
Dm
more than something they invest in
A question in your nerves is lit, yet

Bdim
Bb
that it is not he or she or them
Dm
D
