G5
Don't Wanna work in the building downtown

No I don't Wanna work in the building downtown
C5
I don't know what I'm gonna do
G5
Cuz the planes keep crashing on us two by two
D5
Don't Wanna work in the building downtown
      C5                                          G5
No I don't wanna see you when the planes hit the ground

G5
Don't Wanna work in the building downtown

Don't Wanna work in the building downtown
C5
Parking the cars in the underground
G5
Their voices when they scream , well they make no sound
D5
I wanna see the cities rust
C5
and the trouble makers riding on the back of the bus

G5
Dear god i'm a good christian man

In your glory, I know you understand
C5
You gotta work hard and you gotta get paid
G5
My girl's thirteen but she don't act her age
D5
She can sing like a bird in a cage
C5
Oh Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage!

G5
You know that i'm a god fearing man

You know that i'm a god fearing man
C5
well i just gotta know if it's part of your plan
G5
to seat my daughters there by your right hand
D5
I know that you'll do what's right Lord
       C5                              G5
For they are the lanterns and you are the light

C5            G5
   Now i'm overcome
C5                G5
   By the light of day
C5                   G5
my lips are near but my heart is far away
C5                G5
   tell me what to say
C5
       I'll be your mouthpiece!

G5
Into the light of the bridge that burns

As I drive from the city with the money that I earned
C5
Into the black of a starless sky
     G5
I'm staring into nothing and i'm asking you why:
D5                           C5
Lord will you make her a star So the world can see who you really are

G5
Little girl, you're old enough to understand

You'll always be a stranger in a strange strange land
C5
Men are gonna come while you're fast asleep
G5
So you better just stay close and hold on to me
D5
If my little mockingbird don't sing
C5
Well then daddy won't buy no diamond ring

G5
Dear god would you send me a child

oh god would you send me a child
C5
Cuz i wanna put it up on the tv screen
G5
so the world can see what your true word means
D5
ill know it when you send me a sign
C5                                             G5
cuz i just gotta know if i'm wastin' my time!

C5            G5
   Now i'm overcome
C5                G5
   By the light of day
C5                   G5
my lips are near but my heart is far away
C5                G5
   Now the war is won
C5
   How come nothing tastes good?

G5
oh you're such a sensitive child

you know you're such a sensitive child
C5
I know you're tired, but it's alright
G5
just need you to sing for me tonight
D5
you can have your day in the sun
C5
you know god loves the sensitive ones

G5
oh my little bird in a cage

oh my little bird in a cage
C5
I need you to get up for me, up on that stage
G5
Show the men that you're too old for your age
D5
Now ain't the time for fear
C5
But if you don't take it, it'll disappear!

G5
Oh my little mockingbird sing

Oh my little mockingbird sing
C5
I need you to get up for me on the stage for me honey
G5
Show the men it's not about the money
D5
Wanna hold a mirror up to the world
C5
so that they can see themselves inside my little girl

G5
Do you know where i was at your age?

Any idea where i was at your age
C5
I was was working downtown for the minimum wage
G5

D5

C5
Tell me lord am I the anti-christ?!
