Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
The  (D major) 
hour is out of joint
Black sun has risen
And the river of words
Is flowing on through
Em 
The cages  (E minor) of tradition
D 
And they're  (D major) handing out emptiness
We'll take it 'cause it's given
Free with this plastic innocence
Em 
And these standards  (E minor) of living
D 
 (D major)

Verse 2
Questions lighted questions
Burnin' holes into my head
Hanging like shadows o'er the sun
Em 
Staring  (E minor) out like the eyes of the dead
D 
And  (D major) sometimes my soul flickers
When the wind of change blows cold
Over the mire of repetition
Em 
Down the cor (E minor) ridors of rigmarole

Verse 4
Do you find it there
In the sea of faces
That drowns you everyday
Or in the silence and rubble
and empty spaces
Em 
Where  (E minor) children and rottweilers play
D 
Is it  (D major) buried in the praise
Given so cheap
With a meaningless
movement of the jaws
In the looking glass
That flatters you
Em 
Or in the  (E minor) rattle of hollow applause

D 
 (D major) 
like a flower
And the day starts to rust
Feeling time pound
Like a silent hammer
G 
On this em (G major) pire of dust
D

And the TV screen, the dollar,

And if we're searching for peace
How come we still believe

In hatred  (E minor) as the catalyst

Into the ditch of my mind
