Chorus 1:
D5      D5         E5   F5
Crooked minds have gone astray

Verse 1:
Can't you see the 
D5
clocks 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 
  Bb5
revolver start the race?
               G5
When did the revolver 
start the race?
            D5
Accelerated 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
Bb5
roots will buy them out?
When d'you think the
G5
roots will buy them out?


Chorus 2:
D5
  Crooked minds under gray skies
                              Bb5
They can't live til something dies
     Bb5
(the kids will tear it down)
until something dies
     G5
(the kids will tear it down)
D5
  Crooked minds ain't satisfied
until the ground touches the sky
     Bb5
(the kids will tear it down)
touches the sky
     G5
(the kids will tear it down)


Verse 2:
          D5
Cemetery statue stare into space
sucked into a social media craze
They're looking for an 
answer to explain
the reason why 
disaster strikes again
                  D5
A picture perfect family 
sits by the lake
swimming in a sea 
of mechanical waste

And can't they see 
  Bb5
a tragedy awaits?
Can't they see a 
tragedy awaits?

D5     C5                    Bb5
  Cauterize these butchered eyes
        G5             D5
Tangled in their power lines
         C5                    Bb5
Tear the ground up with their lives
          G5              D5
Raise the caskets in the sky
        C5               Bb5
Someday soon they'll realize
                           G5
Nothing's left for you and I
Nothing's left for you and I
