Intro..

Bm
Nothing comes easier than madness in the world today
Bm                 C
Mass paranoia is a mode not a melody
Bm
Yeah Id like to watch all thousand cable channels but theres nothing on
Bm                               C
high speed connections monitored daily by the pentagon
Bm
These things are seldom what they seem
Bm                          C
Im not inclined to enjoy my dreams
     F#
Wont go away

Em
No peace and no friends
G
We trace the mortal edge
D
To state the obvious
B             C    D   
This world is perilous for us
Em
No sense and no guide
G
Aint it beautiful to be alive
D
I wont resign before the struggle ends
B           C         D            Em
So Ill construct this sound defense

Bm
We are the prey and culture is the predator
Bm                              C
Im running out of time where conditions are positionnal
Bm
Shadows of a doubt cast reluctance and depravity
Bm                            C
Theres got to be a way to overcome this grim reality
Bm
Is there an option left for me
Bm                        C
Im not immune to despondency
F#
Theres no way

Em
No peace and no friends
G
We trace the mortal edge
D
To state the obvious
B              C   D
This world is perilous for us
Em
No sense and no guide
G
Aint it beautiful to be alive
D
I wont resign before the struggle ends
B           C         D
So Ill construct this sound defense

Am                       G
Theres a signpost on the corner
                       F#1
And it keeps everybody safe
E
We were all made in the shade
Am                      G
And your mothers in the kitchen
                                          F#1
Where shes patching all the cracks in the wall
                            F              E
We never had to care in the world     Ohhhoooohhhh

-Solo-

Em
Too much to sacrifice
Its hard to recognize
G
Just a compromise of purely deadly alibies
D
Its combinational
The pressure so intense
B           C                D
So Ill construct this sound defense

Em
Nothings plainer than the madness in the world today
G
I must conceal myself and steal myself and break away
D
I seek initiatives in matters that are black and white
B           C               D
So Ill construct this sound defense
