Verse 1:
Can't you see the 
Dmclocks (xx0231@1)are ticking away?
They try to fit more 
hours into the day
To see that you was 
crunching numbers away
We're running out breath
just to keep up the pace
And when did the 
  Bbrevolver (x1333x@1)start the race?
               GmWhen (355333@1)did the revolver 
start the race?
            DmAccelerated (xx0231@1)architecture creates
a manufactured lifestyle 
for the deranged
They swallow up the green
and build up the gray
And like tomorrows
kids dispose of today
And when d'you think the
Bbroots (x1333x@1)will buy them out?
When d'you think the
Gmroots (355333@1)will buy them out?

until something dies
     Gm(the (355333@1)kids will tear it down)
Dm (xx0231@1) Crooked minds ain't satisfied
until the ground touches the sky
     Bb(the (x1333x@1)kids will tear it down)
touches the sky
     Gm(the (355333@1)kids will tear it down)

Verse 2:
          DmCemetery (xx0231@1)statue stare into space
sucked into a social media craze
They're looking for an 
answer to explain
the reason why 
disaster strikes again
                  DmA (xx0231@1)picture perfect family 
sits by the lake
swimming in a sea 
of mechanical waste

And can't they see 
  Bba (x1333x@1)tragedy awaits?
Can't they see a 
tragedy awaits?
