          C#5           F#5      G#5            E5 
I think I know what you mean but watch what you say 
                  C#5       F#5       G#5          E5 
'Cause they'll be trying to knock you down in some way. 
             C#5            F#5      G#5     E5 
Sometimes it feels like the world is falling asleep. 
           C#5          F#5     G#5      E5 
How do you wake someone up from inside a dream? 
                C#5        F#5            G#5          E5 
Your mind would wander and search for its place in the night. 
          C#5           F#5          G#5       E5 
Your body followed this feeling like following light. 
               E5         C#5     B5            E5 
Once that your music was born it followed you 'round 
            E5         C#5        B5           E5          F#5 
And then it gave your activities meaning and let you be loud. 
 

           G#5            A5 
You're sad but you smile. 
         E5             F#5 
It's not in your eyes. 
        G#5 
Your eyeballs don't change. 
         A5                   E5     G#5 
It's the muscles around your eyes. 
 

               E5     G#5 
An egg to fertilize, 
                E5     G#5 
A pulse to stabilize, 
               E5     G#5 
A body to deodorize, 
                E5     G#5 
A life to scrutinize, 
                E5     G#5 
A child to criticize, 
                     E5     G#5 
Young adults to modernize, 
                 E5     G#5 
Citizens to terrorize, 
                      E5     G#5 
Generations to desensiti-. 

 
                C#5         F#5           G#5     E5 
Your dreams are sweet and obsessed and you're overworked. 
           C#5      F#5         G#5       E5 
You're overtaken by feelings of being overlooked. 
        C#5            F#5   G#5    E5 
How disappointed would D.I.D.I.P.P. be 
            C#5          F#5       G#5       E5 
To see such power in our hands all wasted on greed? 
       C#5         F#5          G#5   E5 
I am a prisoner to instincts or do my thoughts 
             C#5      F#5         G#5          E5 
Just live as free and detached as boats to the dock? 
               E5         C#5      B5                  E5 
Just like when music was born and detached from your heart. 
E5       C#5               B5            E5       F#5 
Is your free time to free minds or for falling apart? 
 

      G#5         A5 
Night after night 
         E5              F#5 
You turn out the light. 
               G#5           A5 
You don't fall asleep right away. 
                  E5      G#5 
"Are we... are we done?" 
 

              E5     G#5 
A desk to organize, 
                  E5     G#5 
A product to advertize, 
                  E5     G#5 
A market to monopolize, 
                  E5     G#5

Enemies to neutralize,

No time to apologize, 
               E5     G#5 
Fury to tranquilize, 
                  E5     G#5 
Weapons to synchronize, 
              E5 
Cities to vapori-.
