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

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


Chorus:
 F               G       
While my mother waters plants 
   C                F
my father loads his gun.
          F                  G 
He says, "Death will give us back to god, 
     Am9              F
just like the setting sun 
 G
is returned to the lonesome ocean."

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

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

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


Chorus:
 F              G           
Oh my morning's coming back 
    C                   F
The whole worlds waking up
       F           G 
Oh the city bus is swimming past
    Am9        F 
I'm happy just because 
  G
I found out I am really no one


End: C F G
