At The Bottom of Everything

Intro:
G C G C G C G

          G                           C         G
We must talk in every telephone Get eaten off the web
          G                             C                     D
We must rip out all the epilogues in the books that we have read
     G                                C
And in the face of every criminal Strapped firmly to 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 that sleeps but doesn't dream
     G                 D             G
We must sing, we must sing, we must sing

It'll go like this:
    C           D
While my mother waters plants
       G              C
My father loads his guns
         C                 D
He says death will give us back to god
       Em               C     D                        (G)
Just like this setting sun is returned to this lonesome ocean

                                          G C G C
And then they splashed into the deep blue sea
 G       C        D       G C G     G  D  G
It was a wonderful splash

          G                       C                 G
We must blend into the choir Sing ecstatic with the whole
           G                        C             D
We must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul
              G                          C
And in this endless race for property and privilege to be one
    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 and 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 just 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 to the very bottom of everything
                                   (C)
And we'll see it, we'll see it, we'll see it

     C                 D         G                C
Oh my mornings coming back The whole world's waking up
    C                 D             Em           C
In the city buses are swimming past I'm happy just because
 C                                G C G
I found out I'm really no one
