Intro  C5 C5 F5   x3 

               C5                                          F5                  C5 
We must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web  
               C5                                                   F5                             G5 
We must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read  
             C5                                                F5 
Into the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair  
               C5                     G5                      C5 
We must stare, we must stare, we must stare  


               C5                                            F5                          C5 
We must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell  
      C5                                        F5                    G5 
Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell  
             C5                                        F5     
Into the ear of every anarchist that sleeps but doesn't dream  
               C5                     G5                    C5 
We must sing, we must sing, we must sing  

(And it'll go like this)  


 F5                          G5        
While my mother waters plants  
       C5                       F5 
My father loads his gun. 
                F5                            G5  
He says, "Death will give us back to god,  
       A5                  F5        G5 
Just like the setting sun is returned to the lonesome ocean."  

(And then they splashed into the deep blue sea, oh it was a wonderful splash) 


               C5                                           F5                     C5 
We must blend into the choir, sing as static with the whole 
                C5                                           F5                       G5  
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul 
                   C5                                            F5  
And in this endless race for property and privilege to be won 
               C5                   G5                   C5 
We must run, we must run, we must run  


               C5                                                F5                              C5 
We must hang up in the belfry where the bats and moonlight laugh 
               C5                                          F5                 G5  
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past 
             C5                                                     F5  
Into the caverns of tomorrow with just our flashlights and our love 
               C5                         G5                        C5  
We must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge  

(And then we'll get down there, way down to the very bottom of everything  

And then we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it)  


F5                          G5            
Oh my morning's coming back  
       C5                                 F5 
The whole worlds waking up 
             F5              G5  
All  the city buses swimming past 
      A5                F5  
I'm happy just because  
  G5 
I found out I am really no one
