C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Took a gander at the stars above me,

C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) Never understood the nature of madness,

F (133211@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) Are we not the ones that manifest our destiny?
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) Are we not the ones to spill blood in the street?
F (133211@1) G (320003@1)
Are we not the ones that eat our young,
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) destroy the land and sea,
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) then cry for help when all is said and done?
Verse 2:
C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) I could never gague a world around me,

C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) I shy away from hate, or at least I like to say.
