Verse:
        G                            C             G
We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web 
        G                                  C             D
We must rip out all the epilogues from the books we have read 
        G                                  C
And to the face of every criminal strapped firmly in a chair 
        G              D              G
We must stare, we must stare, we must stare 

        G                             C                G
We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell 
      G                         C            D
Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell 
          G                           C    
And in the ear of every anarchist who sleeps but doesn't dream 
         G             D            G
We must sing, we must sing, we must sing "And it'll go like this" 


Chorus:
 C               D       
While my mother waters plants 
   G                C
my father loads his gun.
          C                  D 
He says, "Death will give us back to god, 
     Em              C
just like the setting sun 
 D
is returned to the lonesome ocean." 


(Intro is played again here)

(Then during the solo, the same chord progression as the verses is played) 


Verse:
        G                             C               G
We must blend into the choir, sing a static with the whole
        G                         C              D 
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
            G                             C 
And to this endless race for property and privilege to be won
        G            D            G
We must run, we must run, we must run 

        G                               C                 G
We must hang up in the belfry where the bats in moonlight laugh
        G                             C            D 
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
           G                            C 
And in the caverns of tomorrow with our flashlights and our love
        G               D               G 
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge 

G 
And then we'll get down there, way down to the very bottom of everything 
G
and then we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it 


Chorus:
 C              D           
Oh my morning's coming back 
    G                   C
The whole worlds waking up
       C           D 
Oh the city bus is swimming past
    Em        C 
I'm happy just because 
  D
I found out I am really no one


End: G  C G  C G  C G  D G (again, listen for rythem)
