-------------
                              C5
Well, who do you think you're foolin'?
                      C5
You say you're havin' fun,
                      G5
But you're busy going nowhere,
                  G5
Just lying in the sun.
                  C5
You tried to be a hero,
                   C5
commit the perfect crime
                       G5
but the dollar got you dancing
                          G5
and you're running out of time.

                      C5
You're messin' up the water
                      C5
You're rolling in the wine
                      G5 
You're poisoning your body
                      G5
You're poisoning your mind

                 C5 
You gave me coca-cola
                   C5
You said it tasted good
                  G5
You watch the television
                     G5
It tell you that you should.

            F5
How can you live in this way?
              G5
You must have something to say.
              G#5
There must be more to this life.
             A#5
It's time we did something right.

C#5               A#5
Child of Vision, won't you listen?
D#5              Em(b5)
Find yourself a new ambition.


(same goes for the lyrics below)
I've heard it all before
You're saying nothing new
I thought I saw a rainbow
But I guess it wasn't true
You cannot make me listen
I cannot make you hear
You find your way to heaven,
I'll meet you when you're there.

How can you live in this way?
You must have something to say.

We have no reason to fight,
cos we both know that we're right.
Child of Vision, won't you listen?
Find yourself a new ambition.
